Component libraries and personal style

One thing that I have noticed around my team, is that when creating wireframes people are not really using component libraries as much. Instead, we tend to copy and paste from older files. Why is this? From asking around it seems like the biggest reason is personal style. This seems odd because we are talking about components for wireframes which should be devoid of style. The thing is the wireframe process is still part of the creative process, and when it comes to any creative process, you need to see yourself in there.
