I think an analogy would be the following: You need to hammer a nail in a piece of wood. You could do this with a screwdriver but hammer is better suited for the job. However, a hammer made out of glass is less useful than the screwdriver.

In other words, some kinds of tools are better suited for a problem than others, but there exist tools that inferior even though they were designed to solve your original problem.

You should pick the best tool for the job. It might be unclear what that tool is and some tools are better than others at solving the same problem, even if they are designed to solve the same problem.
