I used to think the same. But after nearly 30 years of doing this. I no longer think that people will meet the standard you propose. You can either work around it or you can abandon mainstream software entirely and make everything you use bespoke. There are basically no other choices.



Yeah I try really hard to not use "bad" dependencies. When I really can't, well... I can't.

But still I like to make it clear that the software industry goes in that direction because of quality issues, and not because the modern ways are superior (on the contrary, quite often) :-).
