Libraries, frameworks, and even languages are just implementation details. (If they were half as good as they purported to be, would they need to be pushed so hard? Food for thought.) Benefit of experience is that you start to see that every new shiny thing that comes out teaches you so _little_ compared to diving deep into different domains of programming.
It's fine to immerse yourself in learning a platform and different libraries really well. But when it starts to feel too same-y, that's your cue to branch out.
One problem is that devs focus far too much on their own perceived "employability," optimizing for jamming every single library on their resume, rather than learning to convey that they could spin up on a tech stack in a reasonable amount of time in a new gig.
