There are multiple benefits:

• Developers in the codebase know what to use and import -With a wrapper, developers don’t need to think about the best way to import a library each time. They just use the predefined optimized wrapper.
• Avoiding Redundant Imports - If every component manually imports specific thing from lodash for example, there’s a risk that different components may import some different parts of the library.
• Ease of Maintenance - If a library updates its exports or introduces a more optimized way to import, you only need to update the wrapper file instead of refactoring every single component.
