Huge number of files generated for every AngularJS 2 project

I wanted to start a simple hello world app for AngularJS 2.

When I followed the instructions in the official quickstart the installation created 32,000 files in my project.

I figured this is some mistake or I missed something, so I decided to use angular-cli, but after setting up the project I counted 41,000 files.

Where did I go wrong? Am I missing something really really obvious?
