I don't think "stitching" is the problem per se; taking off-the-shelf parts can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the parts and how they're used. I mean, is there any difference between stitching together cron and a couple shell scripts vs stitching together kafka and node, other than how many components are and how well suited they are to the job and environment? It sounds like your problem is with people who have new-shiny syndrome and try to force their latest interest into their work regardless of whether it makes sense.
