A lot of these things do come down to manager or mid-level dev types who just want to use hot tech, either because it's a shortcut to sound like an expert, or they want to do it to gain experience in it.

The results are absurdly engineered monstrosities. Simple blog sites with 10 different frameworks in them, running on some absurdly complex cloud infrastructure.
