The fact that millions of programs use the exact same code, is what makes exploring that code for vulnerabilities worthwhile.
If there was more original code, it would have less impact when a vulnerability was exploited and much more effort would be needed to attack each application. Luckily LLM can help us create and test that unique code at a lower cost than before. The problem with everyone not rolling their own library code, is that the experts code often contains issues that exist but do not become public knowledge for years, because libary users don't bother to look at it or understand the code, they don't understand how it works or use it correctly.
