Yeah, why get an uniform experience when you can have a different hard time in each new code base ?

Why have basic features defined such as namespace, hashing, basic data structures manipulation, and uuid when you can have the unpleasure of rewritting it everytime ?

Why avoid making your users download primitives they have a 100 copies of on their machines in all those dll and so ?

It's not like those are solved problems in all other languages that don't have an accidental monopoly on the Web.
