Of course they wouldn't implement it themselves, that's what the wonderful world of npm is for. /s
The software I've worked in is full of bizarre, dangerous junk. I used to assume that people did things at least the easier way if not the right way. Now, I expect them to do the dumbest, wrongest most esoteric thing possible and I'm often right.
anecdote
I once worked with a person that was essentially maintaining a series of statically compiled hashmaps by hand instead of, you know, doing the obvious and externalizing the fucking thing into a database table. The insane bastard even sat there incrementing the initial collection sizes when he got requests to add in new data.
