most code very much is plagiarism and the entire profession wouldn't function without it, but no one gives a shit about plagiarizing code because you don't sit there reading code for fun lol
it's like how people don't care if their toaster's design was wholesale copied from someone else, it's a piece of functional equipment and who came up with the design is almost entirely irrelevant so long as it does its job.
Copying others is actively a good thing when you're working with functional things, it means you're not doing a bunch of extra work for no reason, and improves compatibility between things.
