The immediate push to rely on an external library every single step of the way is quite boring! So much of it is outdated and redundant, by people who don't even know the standards have changed and that library is quite unnecessary now (except maybe for very niche cases).

There's this allergic reaction to using your own tools, which I find strange. Yes, I get it, don't reinvent the wheel. However, we're not reinventing the wheel! We're using standards that exist and provide what the libraries do.
