The underlying thing is that we keep driving ourselves to "forward progress" in the sense of a collaborative hegemony, and only in those terms. Either a business wants to own the platform, or the developer wants to build that platform. To do that they have to achieve buy-in from existing stakeholders, but simultaneously reinvent incompatible things. Thus through repeated application of this approach the world of professional software development has aggregated itself into conformance to standards that barely make sense, are poorly specified, and have limited proof of concept, but tick whatever buzzword boxes are relevant to the immediate climate.
If you want to take a real stand, invest yourself in "dead" technologies. Then you can choose whatever you want, and if other people want to follow you on it it's implicit that they are working on a similar problem, and not trying to play the platforms game(else they would be looking for an angle to "modernize")
