I didn't understand the benefit of using terragrunt. Modern terraform supports all of the features terragrunt was originally designed to work around way back when.

Outside of being able to use variables in very niche places that you can't in terraform (and can easily work around, and that last I heard is on the road map for open tofu), what does terragrunt do that using regular module imports in terraform don't?

This may be anecdotal but every terragrunt repository I've ever seen was a mess of spaghetti trying too hard to stay DRY.
