You make this sound like you believe this to be an advantage.  Having seen
the bit-rot in quite a few libraries,  I'm less included to assume that
every library created will be feature complete and well-maintained.  I'm

for embedded malware, to take a simple example, makes the task longer and
more fraught with issues than you might suppose.

It's certainly less efficient and, given the majority of users now accessing

that sort of wastefulness should not be trivially dismissed.  I

You set up a strawman that you attempted to knock down.  He did not propose
it, you did.  I also don't think you scored even a TKO on the strawman.
Again, please focus on your own points,
