The argument for and desire for DI is closely tied to the low code movement. It is tied to configuration as code.

It is certainly a different mentality from straight out coding everything.

I think it is important and will grow bigger in time, because low code is a type of metaprogramming.

You don't "need" to use low code stuffs or do metaprogramming, but if you know how and learn it well you can get much more complex things done quicker than coding everything.

The stuff you are objecting to is due to Spring and such seeking to be a type of generalized metaprogramming instead of focusing on custom DSLs. A custom DSL will have less verbosity, not more.

In a good low-code setup, all your logs should go to the "log" module, and there should be very simple configuration indicating where the logs go.
