Give me a break. The entire internet and software landscape is changing and everyone is in a constant rush to stay current. You make it seem like it's some kind of concerted effort to insult the sensibilities of good, proper software engineers who know the right way to do things.
Everyone is just trying to do the best they can with the incredibly complex stack of technologies in play today.

Really? Is it Web 4.0 now?
People are changing the stack because they don't know any better and trying to justify their salary. That's the bottom line. The rush to stay current is just bandwagon-hype.
