You're generally right: a library is updated only as long as it's useful, and it's useful only as long as it's updated. But it's not entirely a closed circle 🤔
There were real benefits to using these standalone engines that we can't overlook - just as there are benefits to using other libraries now (thinking about React here).

It's just a question of where you place your bets :)
