The goal is to share "here's what I tried", "here's what seems wrong or broken", "here's the pitfalls I ran into", and "here's the _frustration_ I'm feeling at how messed up this all is". And it succeeded. (And fwiw, I've had a lot of other folks in the JS ecosystem express similar thoughts as thanks for my post. It's a limited target audience, most people won't care, but the folks who _do_ have to deal with these kinds of problems understand and appreciate the details and the effort involved.)
