That's not the point of the article though. Reversing an array is simply an exemple of a very simple CS puzzle. Of course it's common enough to have a builtin function. No, this won't be written in a code base, or asked for a code review. That's not the point.

My point is I don't like complex solutions to simple problems.

It's an algorithm question. If somebody gave me your solution in an interview I would ask them to solve the problem without a dependency. These questions are about demonstrating your ability to code whilst understanding space & time complexity.
