well, there are. but there certainly are reasons for what you said next:

this is actually starting to normalize as a "best practice" starts to emerge 
via trial and error. this happens in open source every so often: people start 
solving a problem that hasn't been tackled before and several possible 
solutions hit the ecosystem but eventually just one or two end up surviving.

instead of taking half an hour to learn how it works, some people decide it's 
better to waste entire days cobbling it together by hand, often only to have 
it explode wonderfully on them (either immediately or at some point down the 
road, e.g. during upgrades).

it's a classic newby misdecision.
