There are good arguments to just conform. But it is in fact true nevertheless that many companies and teams continue to choose bespoke workflows over standardized ones. So I guess there must be something driving that.

I don't actually think this is going to take the form of LLMs implementing custom patches to off-the-shelf software. I think instead it's going to look like LLMs writing code that uses APIs offered by off-the-shelf software to script specific workflows.
