Dependency management, or the lack of, is one of those "be careful what you wish for" type scenarios. At my current team we perform a lot of manual copy/pasting of directories they many contain hundreds of not managed dependencies. I really think it would be substantially faster to burn it all down and do it right with few, or no, dependencies and an emphasis on automation at every level. That perceived speed increase takes into account the costs and lost time for reinventing many wheels.
No argument there. You know not everyone gets to work under a 10x leader. Probably the median leader in any sector is -x, because the skillset required to raise money is not necessarily the skillset required to lead.

I think that should not be a universal rule. You can leverage open-source solutions to cheat more than one of those sides, with a little bit of expertise, or by stumbling on the right framework by accident.
