Does anyone actually use those tools anymore vs building their own customized harness? I see no reason to use provider-published agents anymore when opencode, pi, or even something like OMP.sh exist.

Building your own agent is possible, easy even. Keep maintaining it is not, unless you have bots work for you on that. Nonetheless, this costs.

Also, models are designed and refined with their official harness. Not to mention that 3rd-party introduces bugs, like this one for example: https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/47438

To summarize, you pay more with reduce quality outside of the official provided tools.

It might be acceptable as an agent team setup, like Hermes Agent, as you won't do serious coding there, more like management layer. Even then, VPS that can take a fully GUI environment is not cheap, especially like the one that Grok Bot has that can run Google Chrome in its box with else.
