When you say that reusing patterns and components is very hard to do in code, do you mean this applies even when building a reference page in code, with your design system and all of your components?

The problem stems mainly from this statement:

> with your design system and all of your components

While this is straightforward to do, it doesn't encapsulate all of your patterns. No design system should. Design systems should capture the top 90% most-reused patterns, but there will always be patterns that live outside of that. Being able to visually see those, copy them, and tweak them in a context multiple team members can give feedback on is immensely valuable.
