You're right, I didn't take the scripts part into consideration, also the problem of breaking pipelines is real, there's no doubt about that.
However, dividing teams into developers and (Dev)Ops sides like warring factions is not healthy. I'm also an ops guy (more precisely a sysadmin who supports a lot of users and servers) in my day job, and a I develop stuff for academic world and for my own pleasure in my free time, so I know both sides of the so-called moat.
Using features because they're hot is not also OK for any application, but not using features which can solve real problems is unwise in my book. We also had hacks which were working perfectly fine until systemd came. We evolved, changed how we do things and moved along.

I didn't want to tell or imply anything resembling this. I just gave my own opinion, based on my experience.
