Perhaps somewhat ironically, we're already kind of there in some respect.
What's the dominant front-end Javascript framework? React. Made by Facebook. Presumably with Facebook's assumptions about how front-end Javascript should work baked in (not that I'm complaining, really - I like React)
Or Protobuf, Google's idea of how data serialization should work (again, I like Protobuf). Go, too.
Before this you also had things like C# by Microsoft and Java by Oracle (and a whole slew of languages from Apple). Each one trying to impose their vision for software on developers who would use their language. You even see this in LISP, where devotees may look for ways to use other languages in a LISP-like way.
We may not have formal apprenticeships, but we definitely pick up patterns of thinking about software from the tools we use to make our software.
