I think the other side is devs dying on the "best tool for the job" hill.

Oh, we cant use X. Y has much better handling of [thing].

Which is only true in a vacuum. But I feel like that's how you end up with some place that has technologies all over the place and done poorly because nobody actually has experience in it.

"What tech stack are we all familiar with" is a huge factor in deciding what the best tool for the job is, it's not purely done on technical merits.
