> "Boilerplate" implies copying a bunch of code into your project that should be library code but isn't because it's too poorly designed to have an API cleaner than "just fork it, YOLO".

That's a bit too simplistic. Even if the majority of the boilerplate code live in libraries, you don't need all the libraries for all your cases. Then your options would be either something like this or adding unnecessary dependencies for the sake of reducing boilerplate. To me this is the lesser evil between those two options.
