It doesn't help that most of the career advice out there now is to move to a new role every 2 years if you want to get underpaid. Developers don't have the opportunities (or don't give it to themselves) to see how well what they build stands against the test of time.

Sometimes it can take 2 years just to tell if a decision you made was good or not.
