Tl;dr with the comments but I didn’t see “debugging” or “maintenance” showing up. Collecting things, which I assume is an aspect of DRY, makes it less risky - the change or fix can be applied once rather than hoping all of the instances in the code were addressed (correctly). Developer time is precious no matter how many of them you have. Given a sensible design, you can always tune hotspots. Can’t speed up debugging and brittle or unclear code means you’ll be doing more of it. And if it’s “just going to be used once” who really care how it’s written other then “quickly and correctly”? And sadly, too many things aren’t just used once.
