The sklearn to me is (and mirrors) the insane amount of engineering that exists/existed to bring Jupyter notebooks to something more prod-worthy and reproducible. There’s always going to be re-engineering of these things, you don’t need to use the same tools for all use cases

Hmm not quite what I meant. Sklearn has it's place in every ML toolbox, I'll use it to experiment and train my model. However for deploying it, I can e.g. just grab the weights of the model and run it with numpy in production without needing the heavy dependencies that sklearn adds.
