> "I don't need to" [lots of trivial things]

They're not trivial things if they're adding to the complexity already present there.

For example, you may not in fact use node for anything else in the project (eg. it's a Django or Rails project). If you now need to depend on node just for this one thing, the marginal cost/utility is non-trivial.

These things add up, and being aware (and aversive) to this is not whining.
