probably because some of us have been doing this for long enough that we have no problem continuing doing it how we have already... adding complexity and more exploitation routes and also yet more sources for others to be parasitic and abusive is something i consider worth avoiding if possible. that so many projects now want to lock you into their type of build and deploy environments is really sucky - especially when it often ends up at some kind of registration or forum type of arrangement. as i see it, this is the creeping sewer of social media which sucks even more time from me doing other things that i'd rather be up to. one example is an old project going off to roll around in the mud of discord - been there, yuck, not going back. songbird
