Yes! This is also why I think it's stupid that languages are now trying to kill their most popular libraries as a matter of principle.
E.g. node says "oh no, you need a library to write tests!" and now that means that you have to have a testing framework built into your runtime. And of course it's just another library, really, that competes with the original one, but this one is blessed with standards so it has a monopolistic advantage that will deter further innovation.

It's called convenience. You're free to create a testing library so good that it'll knock socks off the stdlib one.
