The fact that your list is that long is a good reason. Using best-of-class libraries is brilliant (and I'd like to all the time), but using good-enough libraries that are well tested with each other and unlikely with new releases to change behaviour in ways that will create edge-cases or interop problems: that is pragmatic.

Plus the reduction in developer-rabbit-holes when every developer tries to include its own favourite (Webpack! Browserify!), the consistent documentation, and the ease of setup.

Not to say you're wrong, but I feel people overlook the benefit brought by well-developed monolithic frameworks.
