This was the case for Airbnb with the popular react-dates project. They tried out solutions and had to change so much code that, at some point, they decided to build their own. The answer to the question of whether to create a component library is, as always, that it depends.
The popularity of software as a metric is interesting. On the one hand, popularity can be an indicator of a certain degree of quality — if thousands of developers are using the library, posting good things about it, it seems a good sign for the future of the project. On the other hand, popularity can be faked. Or it’s not applicable —when a joke project has more stars than most GitHub projects we can’t take popularity as a serious metric without taking a closer look.
