Would it ever make sense to extract 99% of the code out of an app and put it in a library module named :monolith instead?

This has gone through my head a few times, and I know a lot of reasons why this is probably a bad idea, but are there any good reasons?

Every large platform is doing this now.

"Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die."

Finished Season 2 of Hacks. Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder are just fantastic. Both characters are so endearing.

Season 2 closed out like it's a series finale but happy to know that there will be Season 3.
