Of course they wouldn't implement it themselves, that's what the wonderful world of npm is for. /s
The software I've worked in is full of bizarre, dangerous junk. I used to assume that people did things at least the easier way if not the right way. Now, I expect them to do the dumbest, wrongest most esoteric thing possible and I'm often right.

The insane bastard even sat there incrementing the initial collection sizes when he got requests to add in new data.
