You don't know my use case, and you are not right. I have a network of heterogeneous interacting nodes with quite different dynamics on the nodes. I pay great attention to YAGNI, and constantly tell my students and colleagues to cut enerality and work from the specific case outward. But this is just essential complexity of the problem domain. I've spent years implementing the concrete cases, I know what research we couldn't and didn't do because it was to painful to do by hand, and this is the minimum level of generality I can get away with.

I have ideas for a more general library of course, :P But I'm not spending time on them.
