You can kind of see this in golang. Originally it came with stuff to download dependencies, but it had major issues with more complex projects and some community-made tools became popular instead. But it meant that multiple tools were used in different places and it was kind of a mess. Later on a new system was done in the default toolchain and even though it has problems it's good enough that it's now surprising for somebody to use non-default tools.
