vendor + linecount unfortunately doesn't represent an accurate number of what cargo-watch would actually use. It includes all platform specific code behind compile time toggles even though only one would be used at any particular time,

It wasn't really used. It'll likely re-appear in a future release in a better state if people want it. Bevy is still pre-1.0.
