I am noticing the same issue. Also noticing that the @nx/dependency-checks reports these false issues with package/project names that include "-" character in them example: bio-parsers like in the post screen-shot.

I also noticed other issues with different @nx/* (eg @nx/storybook/plugin - when running serviceStorybookTargetName (storybook)) packages where projects in the monorepo have names including the "-" character.
