It's possible service development is happening very often, just not in the dev circles I spend time in. (web based startups)

Regarding writing interfaces for the service, that's fine too. It's just an easier way to integrate with a service. But there's a big difference between writing a service interface and a library that implements the service's functionality.

We do have plenty of open source services (e.g: Zookeeper, Redis, Kubernetes), but few product level like Stripe/Auth0. Yet there's a lot of duplicated effort in things like writing ecommerce/forum/blog/geolocation/social software. I wonder why we don't have more of these.

I noticed a similar problem when I wanted elm-format's indentation set with 2 spaces instead of the un-configurable 4.

I'm a little surprised to see it took this long to release what some teams consider an essential feature. I worked at a company where force-pushing master (by-accident) would put the master branch in lock down while someone could fix its history, which is easily solved by this feature.
