Arguably, what should matters is the impact your work has on your end user.

I agree with you that it's up to the people to adopt new tooling so they don't get left behind.

But from the company perspective, it's beneficial to get people using the new tools as fast as possible so that the overall impact on end user is accelerated.

An example is the adoption of CNC machines in factories. If you're a old timer using mill and lathe, you may argue that the company should not enforce all its workers to learn how to use CNC machines because you can still use the lathe and mill just fine. But from the company perspective, having you learn and run 3 CNC machines at the same time is much better than have you run 1 mill or lathe.
