UVM factory
The UVM registry that creates components and objects by type or instance name, allowing any registered class to be substituted by a derived one without editing the environment.
Type and instance overrides are the main UVM customisation mechanism.

Forgetting to use create() instead of new() silently disables every factory override in that branch of the hierarchy.
