Code that is used and tested by thousands of people is much less of a problem than code that is used and tested by only a few people. Just adding up all the code complexity over the entire system and trying to minimize that objective function is not the right way to go. If it was, you wouldn't use Linux.

Requiring everyone to reimplement hash tables at every use will not be "less code" or "fewer bugs".
