I believe that many programmers, especially junior ones, want to try out and work with the newest tech just because it looks great on their CV.

I've been in some projects where more experienced team members very clearly reminded everyone that technology X would not be useful here, but others on the team just resented them for disallowing the cool stuff.

So this could also be a conflict between the company's goals (stable product) and the individuals' goals (cool CV).
