I don't think so. Software is maybe the only "engineering" discipline where it is considered okay to use mainstream tools incorrectly and then blame the tools.

Do the “mainstream” tools change every five years in other disciplines?

To be fair they only change when chasing trends, consumers don't care how software is written, provided it does the job.

Which goes both ways, it can be a Gtk+ application written in C, or Electron junk, as long as it works, they will use it.
