Most developers don't just grab their tools based on what they want to play with at the moment. Actual software engineering today involves working with other people and their code. Code reviews, integrations, maintenance, enhancements, technology overhauls, system decommissioning, working with vendors.
The fact that this simple reality didn't even cross your mind tells me everything I need to know about your opinions on tooling.

Actual software engineering today involves working with other people and their code. Code reviews, integrations, maintenance, enhancements, technology overhauls, system decommissioning, working with vendors. And? What's that point you're making? If it's not your job to pick the tools then the point is moot because you'll work with whatever the technical leads decide, all you have to do is get to work.
