The advantage, if the abstraction is wrong, of using the abstraction is that you can use tool automation too look up all the uses of the abstraction and replace them with a new one at need without needing to memorize the codebase. Hodgepodge copy-template code that has minor context-sensitive structural differences is relatively difficult to find all instances of in a codebase without tracing execution paths unless you were the original author and you have the uses memorized. In contrast most IDEs have a find all references and even grep can find all the common names of something in a codebase.
