Agreed. Libraries and tools often don't work in a straightforward manner. Lots of tools reach below the surface and do their own tampering and monkey-patching of the runtime, module system or environment. Layer upon layer gets deposited over time. It's like doing construction on topsoil riddled with unmarked gas, water, and electrical lines.
