I agree with you entirely, but I have to do so admitting the reality that not every environment or language is so capable. Don't get me wrong, I still think it sucks, because it breaks robust mechanisms of reuse and updating dependencies in favor of very fragile ones. I'm fighting the fight right now to at least capture these dependencies in the form of tooling rather than scaffolding. But when the language is inflexible and really demands deduplication rather than boilerplate, it becomes really difficult to make the case.
