Well Shadcn gives you more freedom to fix stuff like this and rewrite how you want the component to work and look, since everything lives in your own code base. In a regular component lib it would be less likely that you'd think about this complexity, since it would be "hidden" away in node_modules or even transpiled and minified.

A common misconception.

In reality Shadcn is a thin wrapper around libraries such as Radix, recharts, etc. The article says as much.
