I think part of it is that many just don't know how.

Web developers deal with HTTP and APIs all the time, they understand this. But I suspect that a lot of people don't really understand (or want to understand) build systems, compilers, etc. deeply. "I just want to press the green button so that it runs".

Counterpoint, most monoliths are built like that; I wonder if they think that pressing a green button is too easy, like, it HAS to be more complicated, we HAVE to be missing something.
