I totally agree with the myriad of "last mile" issues teams face when using component libraries with opionated, pre-baked UI.
I think the magic could really come when you have full headless component libraries and full sets of libraries that skin them. You can always roll your own skin. But that's better than having to roll your own entire component library just to get around last-mile issues.
We are slowly but surely working towards higher and higher levels of code reusability at all levels of the stack. Reusable UI is massively important to productivity.
