I’m feeling attacked. Here I was thinking my lifelong work of self sufficiency for my family was completely reasonable until you came along. Thanks a lot!

Every time I try to migrate my very large bookmark collection to another browser, it either misbehaves and partially loses some data or fails completely.

That waterway is flowing directly into the ocean, and upstream from a fishing village.

Consider the case of a team of people collaborating on a software stack - the prototypical use case includes Docker Compose at the simplest and a full K8s stack at the extreme. There is quite often a minimum of 3 containers here; frontend, API/Backend and a database server. If you start to add observability tools, async/batch/event execution, caching, automated integration testing, etc, the number of "layers" in the stack grows quickly. In addition, each component may have unique per-environment or even per-user customizations.

Often one ore two people will manage the stack itself and provide instructions on how to get the whole thing working for others using a specific defined selection of easy to use tools that essentially offer minimal prerequisite knowledge to use

"Install X, run Y, get to work."

It saves a lot of time for the intern on the UI team who just wants to add a component to one page and test it locally and not also have to learn how to deploy the entire stack from scratch.

I'm doubtful you meant what you wrote here. Using a readymade UI or API to perform an effectively magical task (for most of us) is an entirely different paradigm to "just train your own model."

In reality, for us non-ML model training mortals, we're actually probably better off hiring a human to do basic data entry.

"The simplest explanation is usually the best one."

Conspiracy theories are a logical reasoning black hole.

I personally feel it's generally best to avoid the mental Spaghettification.

I mean, who puts Verbs-InCommandNames? No one who wants to actually remember all of their CLI tools. That's who.
