As your sibling points out, it's not just about boolean flags: it's about the abstraction, which is opinionated.

I posit that it is perhaps more laborious to untangle those abstractions than to just write your own.

It's like improving the lighting in your house by going to the breaker panel and flipping breakers and splicing extension cables that you run up your stairs and down your halls.
