Sadly what happens now is that everyone under the sun tries to evangelise and "create content" for these new tools so much that the natural filter mechanisms don't work. Doubly-so because tools like Google effectively created a new fitness function for peoples' behavior that incentivizes just plain old content creation (whatever weird form it may take, including new libraries being created + promoted).
Beyond just tool names, it's also important to realise that there has been a significant movement from the Python development team to standardise aspects of tooling. Tools like Poetry and uv weren't possible a few years ago before there was pyproject.toml to unify a bunch of separate things, for example.
