Or ripping the combustion engine out to make a better car with electric and then realizing you ALSO don't need the transmission!

And then later finding out that a transmission in an electric car will help you both with top speed and mileage, so you have to put it back.
This is just the same old "systemd sucks, let's rip it out" and then later reinvent everything it provides, because it was needed. Also commonly known as reinventing the wheel, the curse of any IT project.

Continuing with the vehicle metaphors, the wheel has been reinvented many times for different purposes. The wheel on a tractor is different from that of a Formula One car.
