Many will ask why and many will ask how so here is an explanation. All of the tools above are Free Open Source Software (FOSS) and as such are available free from either the creator’s website or from GitHub.
Most tools are integrated into the Nextcloud product (I have raved about Nextcloud on this site on several occasions!) and others are integrated into a secondary HTML5/Javascript/CSS Wrapper. A primary HTML5/Javascript/CSS wrapper links and integrates both the Nextcloud instance and the tools within the secondary wrapper. So that is the how dealt with so let us move on to the why.
