Oh it makes a lot of sense! What OP is describing is the experienced programmer approach to Wordpress. Should I check what's already in place for event handling? Absolutely not, I should put my very opinionated layer on top instead of understanding how the system works and go with it. I had major arguments with developers in my team in the past about this, as they would completely miss the point (let's ship) spending time instead reinventing the wheel all the time. They would also be extremely annoyed when I would easily point to the documentation page about how wordpress does exactly what they tried to re-write forcing the system's philosophy.
