> When did something that was originally worth 5 LOCs turn into 20 LOCs
When you want it to work properly in all the cases. That includes when new data is being fetched and you don't want to show the old data. Or when you want to not refetch data if the conditions for refetching are not met. Or when you want to cancel an in-progress data fetch if the data shall no longer be shown after fetching it because the user closed the component tasked with showing the data.

I bet your 5 LOC can't do some of these things.
