Writing your own version of everything means it's probably more tuned to your needs.
Writing your own version of everything means it's probably more tuned to your needs. But unless it's a core part of your software it will also be worse because you can't justify putting many resources into it. It also means new hires will have to learn a lot more. It's one of the (many) reasons why it's so hard to onboard into C/C++ projects, because every standard building block is bespoke and somehow different than what everyone else does. Of course if you are really big you just have those resources, which is why Meta or Google can have bespoke everything. On security it's a tradeoff. The open-source version is an easier target for attackers, but might be much more battle-tested and thus more bug-free. Audits are the attempt to have the best of both worlds here, and since they again can be crowd-sourced (with cargo-vet and cargo-cev both working on this) it scales even for companies that aren't Google-sized.
