There are some companies where the only way to get promoted is to release a new better improved system. So there is an endless loop of rewrites and migrations all over the company.

If you don't like it, you will probably have to join a place with a different culture.

Edit:

If this is the case only for SRE roles then you need to find out why are you rewriting and moving to new, shinier systems. Is there a big improvement? Or is it just for a sake of changing something?

It's for the SRE roles. The continuous change of frameworks, languages etc happens in SWE world as well but I guess the difference is when you're making those changes you have necessary support around you. Your team / group has product manager so you know what feature needs to be there, your team lead negotiates those so you don't need much convincing all the time, your product marketing manager keeps rest of the company in the loop. In the SRE world, you pretty much need to all of those, while doing fire fighting. So the problem is not the change itself, but how it's done and amount of effort it requires I guess.

I experienced this in 2 FAANG SRE orgs, might be the case we had not properly thought SRE org.
