That is a bold statement. Not all of us are working on throw-away websites which need to last for a year at most and can always use the latest tech. Some of us, probably many of us, work on applications which need to last for years to come. Applications for which ye olde multi-page application model works fine.
That doesn't mean those application are trash, but it does mean you cannot switch to a popular frameworks every few years because those applications are huge.
One application I'm working on is nearing an age of 15 years, in which it is continuously but slowly modernizing. It does use JQuery, but for some of the newer parts, where suitable, libraries like Knockout for adding some interactivity.
