Description
Invesigate which (if any) of these submodules can be removed and replaced with the umbrella lodash package:
The reason we want to remove submodules is because many of our dependencies use the umbrella `lodash` package and therefore we can't realistically hope to remove the umbrella package but can hopefully consolidate all instances of `lodash` through our dependency tree into one major version (without redundant submodules).

Research direction
Start by auditing the project's dependency manifests and the lodash-related entries shown in the issue screenshot, then trace which packages require each submodule versus the umbrella package. Done means identifying removable submodules and consolidating the dependency tree where feasible; record any exceptions and validate the resulting dependency versions.
