    Just because someone else wrote it, doesn’t mean it’s a good implementation, or worth bringing its pile or dependencies into your project.

      True, but the opposite is true too, just because you or one of your team members wrote it that doesn’t mean it is a good implementation. Especially considering your team can not have domain experts on everything. There is reason the rule is “never roll your own crypto” and not “crypto is security relevant, always roll your own”.
