No, it's like making Us think we take it ;-)

That's the point. If the interface to boost is as much work as doing a
thing ourselves I lean to the do-it-yourself side.

boost is de facto Standard. People ignoring the Standard are likely to
ignore boosts existence as well, the rest is aware of boost and uses a
thing or two from it. At least that's my impression.

Yes, but it does a bit more, like incorporating costs for the nodes as
well, not just edge weights...
