Developers have been telling other developers that they need to study and learn new tech to survive. Developers have also been telling other developers that switching jobs is the best way to maximize their paycheck. It's debatable whether developers should study this new tech on their own time or not, but there's clearly developers who would prefer to do it on the company's time. Naturally, some developers will learn new tech while solving a company's problem so they can get paid to learn new tech. Combining all of these things, it's rather obvious why developers are building solutions to simple problems with new tech. If you want developers to act differently, you have to change the narrative (or incentives) around new tech, jobs, and salaries. You can't blame us for doing the things we've been told to do by our peers for at least the last 5 years.
