Magento 2's event-observer pattern is one of the most powerful — and most misunderstood — extension points in the entire framework.

Building a Magento 2 custom payment method is one of the more complex tasks in Adobe Commerce development — not because the API is poorly designed, but because there are so many moving parts that most tutorials gloss over.
