I took one look at their API SDK and could not make heads or tails of it. Not to mention the liability of their service being down or slow one day, or somehow mocking them in our existing test suite. We let our juniors write our feature flag code in less than a day using very simple ORM/SQL and it's just worked.

Feature flagging itself is not that hard, it's all the surrounding features that are hard. I can whip up a database engine in a couple of days, but to make it reliable, full of features, and whatever else, will take years.
