I am practically having this conversation at work. There's a sister team with a great tool for benchmarking what they are working on, but it is not convenient for our needs, and I am told to "just do the plumbing to make it work for our needs". Reality is that there are far, far easier ways to achieve what we need than doing all that plumbing, adding more layers of abstraction on top of what is a side project of an adjacent team.
