Not all of us need to build their own ML algos. Just in the same way that not all of us need to build their sorting libraries or data structures. Some people are specialized in this to develop and do research. While other software engineers just want something they can use without much hassle and just a superficial understanding.

And yet they love to ask you to do exactly that at technical interviews... coming up next: what ML algos you need to know to ace that interview.

And another reason is standardization. It's a lot easier to use or tweak any given network if it is implemented in the same framework.
