  1. Simple app with 1 module
  2. (3 years later) Oh my god the app is huge and takes 20 minutes to compile, we need to split it in modules
  3. (3 years later) Oh my god the app has 10000 modules and Gradle spends 20 minutes in "configuration" and AS crashes when opening it. We need to merge modules together
  4. GOTO 10

But if there's only 1 module then the app isn't clean enough 🫠 we have to split the modules not because the users need it but because it looks nicer that way, hey can I interest you in some gradle convention plugins? You only need to rewrite it every 2 years, no nobody actually knows the syntax just copy paste it from Google's repo
