Right and when you're a corporation it cannot be overstated how important it is to coalesce around universal solutions that get up and out of the way with as few steps as possible. Handing new developers a handbook of incantations to get going is very fragile. Handing those same developers one executable with a big Go! button is much easier to get right.
One example from my last job was having one shell.nix in the root of every project folder a developer could nix shell into that contained everything they needed, same version and all, to get going with that project.
