This is entirely feasible but what percentage of people can write replacements for problematic tools and what tools can they afford to replace time?

Among software engineers? I would expect (hope?) that the percentage that could do this approaches 100.

How much extra time do you have to reimpliment things that work because you disagree with how they are written?

You misunderstand what I'm saying. This isn't about disagreeing with how anything is written, this is about the responsibility of developers to know what they're shipping.

If devs can't do things like be able to tell what dependencies a module/library has, then they shouldn't use that module/library.
