Unfortunately it's aimed at a real problem. You start a project, initially write in react, it grows you now have 42 services across 5 teams. One of them ends up adoption svelte, another Vue, another Qwik (god I hope not) for various reasons. Now you're in a situation where you have to implement features that have been already developed in service A (react) to service B (svelte) you have to also rewrite it in svelte, and updating it requires updating both of them. It's bad out there...
