You're not building a car, you're working with software, and this is
just a part of it.

If you were building hardware, and you *had* to create tools or molds to
do the job, you would do so, or you would arrange for someone else to do
so.  That's part of that process.  Just expecting someone to do
everything for you isn't going to work.  The answer will be, go right
ahead and use whatever else you want.
