My blind guess is; one hand not know what the other is doing.
Ive left projects and come back to find the developer between had done things like, pull in a library to handle slideshows when one already existed. Things like that.

however the dependency was still there ... Now I'm removing it.
In the beginning, there was only jQuery. .... Then, for a while, there was also Angular, and for a short while, a tiny bit Angular Dart (I got on the hype train?).
Then, there was a month removing all Angular things, and switching to React. And then ... Another month removing all jQuery things.
There's still a disabled way of laying out a discussion in 2D, using the full width of the screen (nice with a 30'' monitor :- )) and then, for horizontal scrolling, jQuery was used. But all this 2D stuff is disabled nowadays (I like the 2D layout but it's a rarely used power user feature and I was too short of time so had to disable it).
(The reason I removed jQuery, and use React only, was to improve performance — just parsing and executing the 30 kb min.js.gz jQuery bundle took maybe half a second? on mobile phones.)
