It’s just a personality game. Consider who these abstractions appeal to by the phrases people utter most:

* something about reinventing wheels

* easier

* mvp in 30ms

To me it’s always sounded like whiny bullshit. How do you get your MVP up fast? You build a starter template and then copy/paste from it. How do you make it easier? You avoid the bad practices. How do you avoid reinventing wheels? You build libraries.

These giant abstractions are created to appeal to people who are emotionally insecure about how to proceed. If you want to create the next big super framework that’s both your premise and your audience. This was the exact original sales pitch for Angular, btw.
