&gt; why would you not instead implement these common requests?<p>Because time is finite.  Apparently you&#x27;re one of the few developers that doesn&#x27;t have 10x more feature requests than you have resources to work on them.  Good for you.  However, that&#x27;s not the norm.<p>&gt; why not write a few modules for some other people?<p>See above.  It&#x27;s a mistake to generalize from young and&#x2F;or small projects to those that have become large and complex over time.
