I think the article misses some important context about scale and economic efficiency.
When you have 10,000 engineers then decoupling everything behind protocols and formats makes a huge amount of sense because the coordination costs are astronomical.
When you have 10 engineers then you need to standardise tooling and libraries because the costs associated with diversity in the codebase swamp the coordination costs.
