It appears all of the newer Octokit libraries require this - https://github.com/octokit/action.js/blob/25f537f58b9d8ee779175a9601f0958b1b2ce6ac/README.md#L33-L37

I'm fairly certain this was required when updating Octokit, I don't think it should impact much since this action isn't consumed as a library.
My one concern is that it somehow impacts the custom require functionality this action implements, but integration tests should catch that.
dist/index.js
Outdated

I'm not entirely sure why the dist is so bloated now

This replaces the dependency of
@actions/githubwith a more direct dependency on Octokit via@octokit/action- https://github.com/octokit/action.js.@actions/githubis on a very old version of Octokit and is preventing users of this action from using the latest GitHub APIs in their scripts:Using Octokit in a more direct manner will allow this action to keep up date with dependencies in a more timely manner going forward.
This will likely break some user scripts, both from "expected" breaking changes from a multi-version bump of Octokit and unexpected breakages from new or different behavior in
@octokit/actionor this action that we're not correctly replicating from@actions/github. My hope is that integration tests will catch the more significant scenarios, but we should expect some bugs with the v8 version of this action once it's released - #556.
