Backpex - a highly customizable admin panel for Phoenix LiveView applications

But what does this include? Live Dashboard is just some already designed live views. I can add arbitrary pages to LiveDashboard. I linked to the documentation explaining how above. Once you add a new page to LiveDashboard it’s just a regular LiveView, meaning I can make it display any content I want, including all of the content that Backpex displays in its documentation images. The difference is that out of the box LiveDashboard comes configured with a ton of useful pages and Backpex requires me to rebuild all of this functionality (as stated by the author of the lib). If Backpex requires me to write integration code anyway what do I gain by bringing in this library over just adding a new page to LiveDashboard and writing the same integration against a vanilla LiveView?
