A standard problem with dev tools is that they're obsolete before they're ever mature.

What is mean is that by the time NewTool that fills a gap doing X really well catches up with the YZ that older tools have long experience handling, EvenNewerTool handles E better than NewTool does.

I don't have any knowledge of the specifics here, but at first guess I doubt something security-focused would be an exception to that rule.

Hashicorp tools have been industry standard for many many years.

They just used to be free and open source.

Yeah, see almost every "configuration management" tool aside from Ansible that promptly got made irrelevant for the majority of users once containerization hit the scene.
