Sure, and I do that whenever I can. But I'm not going to write my own react, or even my own react-hook-form. I'm not going to rewrite stripe-js. Looking through my 16 direct dependencies -- that pull in a total of 653 packages, jesus christ -- there's only one of them that I'd consider writing myself (js-cookie) in order to reduce my dependency count. The rest would be a maintenance burden that I shouldn't have to take on.
