Well I guess we must work in a different environment because over my 13 years as a web dev I've seen people trying to reinvent the weel and coding the same thing over and over again. Just think at all infinite JS frameworks.

Are they technically identical? No. Was the problem "solved" already? Probably yes. Was it not solved the exact way the developer wanted? Also probably yes which is why they decided to code something new.

They don't consider it technically identical. The design goal was to make something that's significantly better in some way or another. Which is very unlike pie baking.

(I'm sure there's a few frameworks made just for fun/practice but by the time you see it published I'd round that down below 10%)
