Free boilerplate templates are often not maintained for that long, dare I say usually maintained as long as the author is interested in that particular stack. I think there's some value in offering a stack that has preconfigured settings for your IDE, linters, formatters etc as well as complicated things like multi-tenant databases. It eliminates a lot of toil when setting up a new product and generally the price for these kits is under $100.
