Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Component building in isolation leads to inconsistency and inefficiency, which a design system alone can't prevent. A visible, collaborative "component marketplace" is needed to support team autonomy and organizational oversight. The distinction between a component library and a design system lies in thoughtful curation and shared strategy, not just availability, and addressing this gap is key to achieving design consistency and usability at scale.
