Whatever you’re doing with middy here are easily achievable without using middy which eliminates installing so many external modules that unnecessarily makes the package heavier. If your lambda doesn’t have lot of handlers, using any external modules seems useless in my opinion.

That's a really great opinion, I think it's the eternal dilemma right? If you want to bring your own utilities, you can do just that. Sometime people don't have time to create their utilities, and they want something they can use to enhance their Lambda development experience. And I think Middy does just that.
For example, one small thing that comes to my mind is the ability to validate the event body and have an interface to use, both while defining the schema in one single point
Other than that, you are importing less than 250KB (235KB are for the validator because it uses Ajv).
So yeah, I agree with you that you can use your own utilities, and sometimes, other options, like Middy, may come handy too
