People don't build it themselves for a few reasons: 1) Saves time 2) easier to hand off when you eventually do. 3) Reinventing the wheel means reinventing all the bugs other things have already solved, which is a big security nightmare.
Third party open source products are sufficiently capable and attractive and usable that there is almost no good reason to build by hand, no matter how satisfying that might feel as a project.
