Most dependencies don't add anything that's "essential" in the strict
sense. The vast majority of uses of computers aren't essential either,
but that didn't stop us yet. ;-)

IMHO it's maintainer/upstream choice whether to call on the "new" library's
features, even on systems where they are not (yet?) useful.
(Maintaining patches also is busy work if avoidable.)
