The relation of consumption is transitive. End-users consume our products. We consume libraries and frameworks we use to build this tools. Just like in the analogy buyers would be annoyed by the plethora of choices, many developers are getting annoyed at constantly changing "best library" ecosystem.

And quite a lot of those problems - including this situation - are instances of the so-called accidental complexity. I.e. difficulties we inflict on ourselves, not parts of the problem that's being solved.

Anyway, the problem seems to be more profound in software than elsewhere, and I think it's because of the medium - code is very malleable; it's easier to rewrite a program than to redesign a car that's already being manufactured. So it makes it tempting to consider changing frameworks, instead of picking one that's good enough and sticking with it.
