I think dominance and control do play a part in tech holy wars but it's not everything.

Power structures within tech communities ossify and the community itself can regress in their abilities. And so this means that technologies can sometimes get worse over time.

So that can create conflicts between old tech which is proven and reliable and new tech which is not proven and can be unreliable.
