I think the main reason one would do such a thing is if they cannot find an existing solution which suits their needs.

  Makes sense but so another way of phrasing my question is "Aren't the current bundlers good enough for most use-cases already?

    Every framework comes with limitations. The more experienced you are, the more likely you are to be frustrated by the limitations of a framework and set off to write your own. For example, there are hundreds of Web development frameworks of all sorts around, yet I set out to write my own, and spent five+ years doing it, because I was frustrated by the limitations of all the others. Does anyone else need my framework? Maybe not. But I have benefitted from it.

    Most? Maybe... but I've wanted a bundler to work with hot code reloading for a while. Snowpack gets close to what I want (at least in theory), but it isn't compatible with my codebase. Snowpack is open source, but if I do want to contribute to the bundler though, I need to know how bundler work in general or else I won't understand what I am seeing.
