The answer to your original comment answered this. Engineers would avoid cv-driven-development if recruiters and head-hunters didn't use key-word based searches and rewarded developer CV riddled with most buzz, admittedly a bad thing. So I hardly see this as self-inflicted, it is wrong but that is what market is looking for.

Resume driven development is as much about developers chasing the new shiny as it is about dealing with the phenomenon you note. Perhaps more so, even.
