I _think_ what's going on here is that, in the, excuse my French, _enterprise_ sector it's very common to have some sort of an end-user configurable, enormous form (or dashboard or whatever) full of widgets that are not in any way unique.

This is _a lot_ of "web" development. Often done by developers who, to be honest, would rather be doing this in QT (eww) or something.
