As I have said before, people tend to preceive the VIC in terms of their
own mindset. It's really not unusual for this sort of thing to happen.

You asked a question but one possible answer is in the subject/topic line

I've tried to put such tools as you have mentioned together in an
integrated manner and for one reason or another there are limits to how
far this can be done.
