There is a lot that gets done behind the scenes in createBuilder(). I understand where you're coming from, but this allows you to override any defaults that you don't like, in order to provide your own. I personally still stick to the standard MVC pattern, and don't go crazy with abstractions. I place my business logic within services and inject those in my controllers, but if you were to run a debugger, you would not have to jump through interfaces and other useless abstractions that were a thing of the past (and present if you follow current tutorials and books). I have used Node.JS, and still use it to provide my frontend developers with an environment using Express to build out templates using Gulp for minification/transpilation/compression for use in Umbraco (a .NET Core CMS). My frontend developers don't need to know C#, and can work in standard EJS templates and HTML, but benefit from SCSS and modern JavaScript. I can then build out the Razor syntax for views, and just drop their CSS and JS files directly into the CMS projects.
