I've used this resource before and it's actually a really useful way to figure out which different libraries are out there. Sometimes you only need a minor library for what you're doing and chances are this website help you find it really quickly.
I agree that good js developers should be able to code a lot of this themselves. The vast majority of it I have probably coded over my career, that doesn't mean I want to code it again myself - that's just wasteful. I looked at a few < 0.5kb libraries on that list and there tended to be sufficient code to make at least looking at them worthwhile.
Having said that, I often won't put other people's libraries in because I know I'll probably spend more time dealing with the limitations/assumptions and making css play nice as just doing it myself.
