That is an import perspective. I've always struggled to understand why (esp. in the Java enterprise world) things were so complex. It took me a while to see through it and now I create abstractions when I need them, not just in case. That's why I don't like things like Clean Architecture.

E.g. I don't create an abstraction in case I someday need to switch the database from SQL to NoSQL, but when I need the abstraction right now for an alternative implementation (e.g. mocks for testing).
