It doesn't have to, you can just start using a piece of technology 5-10 years after everybody else, you know.

We started using react a couple of years after hooks were introduced when there were millions of ready libraries, all major design patterns were established, tons of docs were written, etc., and although there's still major churn, it's nothing like it was when react first came out.

I looked at svelte when the hype circle started and decided to postpone using it for at least five years — these comments show it was a right decision.

It saves money and time to be conservative with these things.
