It is quite true as a generalization but in practice border line 
between application and a library is not that clear. You often 
have common modules used in various parts of an application. Kind 
of internal mini-libraries.

Also every time you catch yourself doing any sort of copy-paste, 
it is quite possible that it can be replaced by mixin / template 
mixin instead. Application that are built in more declarative way 
benefit more from such tool set than traditional imperative ones.
