Most front end devs I manage don't like pre built components and want to roll their own. They might quibble over the behavior or style and feel the itch to change it.

This is also a terrible waste of resources to rebuild the wheel over and over. A few components, sure, when there is a compelling case for custom. But you do the business a disservice by consuming so much time on items just because you want to.

I also find it incredibly demoralizing trying to advance a project and the bug log is full of bugs about basic component behavior you would just get out of the box with a pre built set.

The most likely alternative to boring, functional, and WORKING, is BROKEN and dysfunctional. Please don't break navigation. Have predictable menu behavior. Etc... There are other ways to be creative.

Or heaven forbid, browser-native controls. So many building blocks in a SPA are required because you are not using the browser's native functionality. Instead everything is re-implemented worse.
