1. Hype driven development: NoSQL, microservices, serverless. Used in places where they do not fit. Same with CV driven development.

2. Risk-averse traditionalists/architects. Instead of choosing right modern tools they keep pushing for Oracle/PHP/Java whatever they know.

2. They pay me a small fortune but I always get slow Windows box. VirtualBox helps but it is complex and slow. My three years laptop is a few times faster than new company laptop.

3. Not enough room for personal growth. I have family and I have less time to learn new stuff.
