An affiliates 'job' is to consume an API and spit it out in a template. That's basic 101 API usage.

Code breaks all the time and needs constant updates.

I like how you feel you speak for 'we', you don't speak for me though. You mean mature toys that have been in development for nine years or longer and have proven themselves countless times in a range of sectors? I agree, making these packages seem like childish toys will alienate potential clients from using them to pay a coder for their time instead.

Exactly, clients should be conditioned to think minimal code is best code (even though it's more than likely that the job they want doing could be done on a calculator) and they should pay coders to think how best to get the code as minimal as possible, as 'efficient' as possible and as well-designed using current theories rather than just getting the mvp to market as quickly as possible and be able to manipulate it themselves allowing their mvp to develop with the market.
