it's kind of a trope now in social media for people to look contrarian against current web tech. There are whole twitter influencers out there that are not known for any achievements but just pooh poohing popular frameworks. Just an easy way of grabbing some status, I guess. And platforms love the engagement it brings.

I can see a top tier game engine developer talking with skepticism about current web tech, but it's more often coming from something like enterprise java devs from the 2000s that used to take months fudging with class hierarchies to deliver a basic form GUI. The kind that must take any opportunity to denounce electron apps but would never give up VS Code and go back to Eclipse.
