I'm kind of with you, but I suppose its a culture/mind-set thing.
I hate reinventing the wheel, but who knows what kind of innovation could happen by combining unique experiences and lessons someone can learn for future use.
For instance, I made a laser pointer, I could have bought one for $10-$100, but I decided to make my own, learn about Electrical Engineering and optics. I never finished it, but it taught me a ton about EE along the way. Now I am quite comfortable with EE, except the parts I'm uncomfortable about ofc :)
