#1 has a big influence on my argument. I think it was Python and NodeJS library systems that made it super simple for people to publish libraries. There are a lot of trivial libraries out there, and many of questionable quality. Sometimes using a library ends up as more work than writing the bits of code myself. It's not like I'm going to decide to write a new 20k line library for my project, but if something is only a few hundred lines of code it's definitely easier to just rewrite.
