1. I think there was some missed satire.
2. The point isn't to not use modern tools. The point is to use what is already there instead of adding technical overhead for no reason.
3. Nothing like this is ever going to apply to every person and every project ever, so that may be why you don't get them.
I worked on real websites. What you're saying sounds wonderful, but the reality hardly ever aligned with that. People are generally lazy and careless. I've seen megabytes worth of imports for something could have been done from scratch very quickly for a small fraction of the overhead.
It isn't that these tools have no place. They're just too often abused and used as crutches. This tends to lead to security issues and abnoxious wastes of time and computing resources.
