I have found that the ClassFactoryGeneratorFactories sneak up on you. Even if you don't want to the ecosystem slowly but surely nudges you that way.

That has not been my experience. Sure, you don't have any control over the third-party stuff but I haven't seen this issue being widespread in the mainstream third-party libraries I've used e.g. logback, jackson, junit, jedis, pgJDBC etc which are very well known/widely used. The only place I've actually seen proliferation of this was by a contractor, who I suspect, was trying to ensure job security behind impenetrability.

It is ironic how Java got that stigma and other systems that are just as bad, or worse, like Objective-C, have not.
