>If thing Y was remotely complicated and if the teams had a good working relationship why would they choose to duplicate their work.
So many reasons, but they usually boil down to simple self-importance.
Also, remember that it's harder to read code than to write it. Any non-trivial library or service is going to have a learning curve.
>Also even if a rigid structure existed I can still not use your thing Y most likely because I don't respect your work and I would implement thing Y differently ( and in my opinion better ).
Everyone has their own opinion.
In a rigid structure, this perspective wouldn't work because your paycheck would be imperilled by it.
>The problem isn't people chose different tech stacks its they don't want to work together.
Sure, I agree. In a correctly organized structure, their incentives would change, and their behaviors would be more cooperative.
>If they did they would choose tech stacks and work practices that foster collaboration.
No, that's like saying if people wanted unity, they'd make choices everyone would agree on. Everyone wants unity. They just everyone to unite to their idea of what's important/right.
Management is all about crafting an environment and structure that causes people to work in a productive way. That could happen in this company, but it hasn't.
