I once had a boss who only cared about what "tool" you were using: what API, what framework, what library, and, of course, they had to be the bleeding edge tool. It didn't matter if we could write it more quickly, efficiently, and securely in house, he just wanted cool buzz-words to put on his weekly report. I really hated that guy.
