I think this is a key misunderstanding. One I mostly share. Option is not a micro design pattern any more than String is. It is a common type that is shared in many languages. Same as List or Map. Maybe I'm placing more distinction on this than is necessary, but it is important. Can you imagine working with a language where String was implemented vastly differently than the way it is commonly done?
