DRY is so prevalent that pushing just 2 identical pieces is now rare in my experience.

I want to work where you work.

I've seen literally 4 separate implementations of the same UI component in the last week. It's obvious that they all started out from a common base (e.g. by looking at variable names, function names, etc). However, over time, each component has diverged, as each project that the component was copy-pasted into just made changes willy-nilly to their copy of the component, rather than recognizing that they have a copy of a shared component and refactoring changes upstream or building common abstractions upstream.

Now I've been tasked with doing the refactoring work to make these components DRY, and I can already tell that it's going to be far more work than management has anticipated.
