Agreed. It's just unusual for frontend developers. As Hatem said, backend background helps in understanding this amazing tool. It's pretty complex but is able to improve your app's modular achitecture drastically.
For instance I've used it to create a web analytics reporter. Its logic had to be different depending on from what URL user opened it. So I created an abstract class and injected it to components and services. When the app started, a factory function detected which implementation to use. That's it. Very clear architecture.
I mainly work on the back end. I understand DI has become a defacto standard in statically typed languages. However, I suffered from DI framework deeply after intensively writing and reviewing Spring or Guice based applications for many years. I saw how productivity gets impacted by overusing DI in many organizations. I'm not against DI pattern, but against the DI framework that brings complexity, magics, ceremonies, and bad practices. I even come out with an alternative solution regarding decoupling, customization, and testing. I call it Injectable Factory. You can take a look if you're interested.
