I’m inclined to agree.

I also don’t get people who look up YouTube videos on how to do things in Factorio.

What’s the fun part left to do if you just use someone else’s factory or belt design?

I think a lot about this in the context of video game minmaxers/netdeckers who just copy a researched, optimal behaviour. It's completely alien to me but some people really get a kick out of just being an implementer, following rote instructions exactly to the letter.

yes once you watch those videos it takes away the problem solving element as well.
