What do you mean by "it's logic, mathlib could be implemented in system F"? System F is not dependently typed!

Anyway, nobody doubts that Lean's logic is a dependently typed formalism: "Lean is based on a version of dependent type theory known as the Calculus of Inductive Constructions" [1]. I thought the discussion here was about using dependent types in programming languages. Note that logics and programming languages are not the same things.
