That's misleading. In well-designed systems, you use any of a number of different *tools*, all of which use the same back-end *library interface* (which might effectively mean “the same library” or “mutliple libraries coded to the same interface”).
If the only workable back-end is a single tool, then that tool effectively becomes the back-end library and people bolt on multiple tools as front-ends to it. But that seems inferior to a true reusable library that is intended for use in implementing front-end tools.
