I mostly use languages where the feature doesn't even exist. We don't generally miss it.

I also blocked a proposed mandatory dependabot at work a few months back because I didn't like the way it created a pipeline for any hacker to push a hacked dependency straight into someone's codebase. I'm lifting my objection now that dependabot is defaulting to a 3-day cooldown, though the code bases I'm managing I'm setting to 7 days. (Not to be behind everyone else; I'd be fine if everyone joined me at 7 days. I don't really accept the freeloading objection, there's plenty of entities scanning things now no matter what cooldown you set. I just think 3 is a little tight to expect the full discovery and remediation to take place.)

So, whatever sort of "but it's really hard! I bet you don't do it yourself" implications you may be trying to draw fall very flat. Or whatever you may have been trying to imply about trusting this step but not trusting others... no, I do defense in depth. Giving up on defense in depth because one step isn't enough... well, I think I've probably played the "you won't get very far in engineering" card enough, but hey, here's one last time.
