I mean there is an issue here with inflated line counts. It makes the whole solution more complex and more difficult to troubleshoot. It makes the binary size inflated. It likely makes the solution slower. And, probably most important, it makes auditing very difficult.
Indeed, so why waste it reinventing the wheel instead of using a high quality third party package?
Or arguing about highly suspect LoC numbers pulled out of thin air as if it’s not an apples-to-oranges comparison, for that matter.
