> Too much of the "new" stuff is not just a good natural evolution of people solving problems

I guess it depends on what you're lumping in with "new stuff". I've experience the opposite quite a lot of refusal to acknowledge that a new constraint or condition has modified the parameters of what a solution is trying to solve, dismissed as one off events or something to monitor, then 6 months later when the problem was isolated becoming the new norm, and monkey patches being required because of refusal to acknowledge that the environment has become more complex.
