it's been my experience that people say "component library" when they want to minimize the value of a design system. so let's use their language and see if we can find any relationships between elements:

- color harmonies between tokens (themability)
- congruency of element attributes and token values
- emergent properties when combining tokens => elements => patterns => themes (this is the big one)

So our component library turns out to have quite some scope for complex, emergent expression. It's also been my experience that the majority of people benefit from the centralization of org knowledge in a well-written DS (portability between teams/projects, for example)

So what I'm digging at is: often org needs also help those orgs' people as well.
