Seems to be a lot of overlap with the Suckless philosophy: https://suckless.org/philosophy/

This is really interesting, because I generally specifically try to avoid software or libraries that I have to modify.

Modified software generally means manually merging changes for updates, remembering to manually check for those updates, adding build scripts to properly integrate it into the main project, etc.

And it also means the software you're using hasn't been audited or tested completely by anyone but you.
