This is just modularity in the broader information-related development handling. People tend to get political about things that make their involvement comfortable and/or when it's not them who are to deal with the pesky consequences. I strongly suspect that that must have been the cause for how giants like Google¹ or Facebook² ended up with monorepos. It is developers' workout or letting them be with their cake; kick the problem down the road and hope to acquire in time the resources necessary to throw at it later. ¹² "Don't be evil" (with developers, among others) and "move fast and break things" most definitely asks for cutting a few corners here and there.
