I think there is a fine line between using a library and writin your own to understand better the domain

It's something to do with how critical the library functions are to you / your system. I would never write my own compression software, but I can see why people would just to learn about the trade offs.

Okay, but if I had known about the alternatives I would have used them, so I'm not sure how that's relevant.
