I think we’re going to have to agree to disagree on this front 
For some context, Surface is 15k lines of code in a single package designed to make a specific segment of your application better. Which is not disparaging to surface at all, its an excellent tool and “how many lines of code” is an extremely crude measure of scope.
In comparison, Ash is an entire ecosystem that does (I think based on this conversation) a lot more than you think it does. Using only the current published packages (there are a few that are not yet), Ash consists of 114189 lines of code. Again, I’m not suggesting “lines of code” is by any means a metric we should care about, I’m only trying to use it as a very crude illustration that Ash covers significantly more ground. A footprint that will only continue to grow.
