When I look at design systems, it definitely seems like a good idea. But then when I take a step back and ask myself "what problem are we trying to solve?" my answer is: we need to communicate the intent, behavior, and visual attributes of an application to (a) stakeholders for approval, and (b) developers for implementation. This communication is expected to update over time and potentially to several teams, though not all teams at once since they need to update their own designs in response. When I think about ^THAT problem, I ask myself "is what I'm seeing in a design system the thing that Once And For All solves that problem?", the answer is no. There's something that doesn't feel sustainable to me.
