- saves infra costs 
  - saves infra headaches 
  - devs only need to be experts in one system (or well I guess one and a half, probably there's something to learn about ParadeDB too, but probably less than in learning Lucine) 
  - no need to worry about keeping data up to date in the separate seach system
  - all data is available when you want to do new queries that you handn't thought of when implementing the data transfer/indexing

Its easier to have 1 system until a certain scale.
