Well fwiw, working with GPT 4 it often suggests which libraries to use assuming the question allows for it, so it's not like everyone's writing everything from scratch.

But libraries and especially frameworks as they are these days are also a giant liability more often than not. APIs change for no reason, they can be removed from the package manager at any moment without warning, people may slip malicious code into them past LGTM reviews, have recursive dependencies upon dependencies that bloat and slow down your build process, etc.
