That's rarely why these enterprise frameworks are bought or operated. More often it's for various permutations of the "no one got fired for buying IBM" excuse.

That's rarely why these enterprise frameworks are bought or operated. More often it's for various permutations of the "no one got fired for buying IBM" excuse. Big showy re-orgs around Hadoop are mostly for status effects, hardly ever related to engineering realities.
And in the few firms that actually do have real engineering trade-offs that favor the use of those types of frameworks, they tend to hire people who are well-suited for the role, and then create job functions surrounding them that are respectful of aptitudes and skills of the people they hire.
In most firms that adopt these frameworks (for status effects), they are just desperate to fill seats and increase engineering headcount. They don't respect your skill set or even care if it matches the business need. They just need to get you in the door, and then find a way to deal with inevitable dissatisfaction later.
