This argument for Make is exclusively based on network effects. Fine. we accept that we're stuck with it. It still sucks.

I disagree. It’s an argument for convention. This is the same reason we have package.json or Dockerfile or Pipfile or Rakefile - it tells us the standard interface for “install this”. It’s not specific to make.
Docker is new and didn’t have any network effect until recently.
