> is absolutely possible to build a CRUD web app with reactive UI using modern tools in a few hours.

Yes, but it also leads to tons of bikeshedding. "Should I implement a linter? Should I write unit tests? Integration tests? Should I mock HTTP calls or use a mock server? How should I deploy things? How do I structure my CI?" All these choices are extremely subjective and context dependent and then somebody's gonna pass on you because they don't like that you used Cucumber.

Setting up a project is not something you do often, and if you do, you probably have templates and some team standards.

It's much better to give somebody a project structure and ask them to implement some basic task in it.
