I love how you selfishly think about your agency as if there was no team involved dealing with your "snowflake creation".
When I give this advice it usually means I don't think the output is better than the existing thing and the dependency cost is better paid in the form of integration.I probably don't think you'll really maintain your creation or think about others using it when you do.
As long as we are throwing shitty incentives around.
But on a more neutral note, it's a tradeoff with many moving parts. Different choices for different scenarios.
