Yeah, and you end up with myriad of functions which are used once and only once and it becomes impossible to actually find code which does something useful.

I have a much harder time with "_tcscpy_s" and similar suites of functions where a single-letter typo is likely to be a different function with the same signature.
Domain-specific languages are productive; their parts combine in ways giving novel results. A list of a million verbs you can only ever use for one purpose is not a language in that sense.
You're right that you end up with a myriad of functions, may of which you only use once, but I was surprised how often I actually been finding myself reusing something. I have much more code reuse than I originally figured.
One thing that might be an issue, depending on your temper is that your code almost becomes a DSL. Programs are pretty much stringed together by this "myriad" of custom functions, that might not be useful outside this one program.
