I agree it's definitely an underserved tooling area. But so is a maze of submodules which is the realistic alternative. Open source just doesn't care too much about whole-company level projects because those don't really exist in the open source world.

That said, you can definitely make it work with Git & Bazel. Beats submodules by a mile.

Oh yes.

Also another thing: often people end up with the worst of both worlds: one (or two!) big monorepos plus a swarm of many little repos. Now you only pay the price of the monorepo but rarely ever notice the benefits
