Kind of like swimming against the current back when JQuery/Angular were the dominant ones and suggesting React would get you laughed out of the room? How nobody would care if you could use React because every business was using and only hiring for JQuery devs?

The cycle continues. People acting like the [current popular thing] is the problem are missing the forest for the trees.

Resisting change for the sake of it, and having space to make pragmatic choices not based on popularity are quite different things.

The latter got a lot worse. Along with React came the rise of evangelists, celebrities and their courses and a generation of developers raised on the idea that github stars are the ultimate measure of software quality. The jQuery era was peaceful by comparison!
