No, they're casualties of people actually using the platform, the platform's low publishing barrier, and the ecosystem's preference for focused libraries over monolithic bouncy castles. Rallying around one library sounds cool until you see that the top three competing solutions in another ecosystem each have more contributors and activity. Then you realize you're not in the elite ecosystem, just the smaller one that has one library like my tiny Texas hometown.
