I was trying to figure out why people still use Axios, when the built-in fetch works just fine. Is it because people are still sending XML requests?

    It provides a lot of nice syntactic sugar that you would otherwise have to write a wrapper for on top of Fetch. Built in request interception, request transformation, (de)serialization, shared request config, timeout/retries management, ...

    Though this definitely comes with bloat and supply chain risks.
