Pushing for innovation is often a part of playing the status game. People pay attention to novelty because it is, in fact, novel. That is, unusual. Novelty also has the potential to benefit one's life in a new way, which is exciting.

In order to rebuild the old system what you would actually need to do is to prototype with a few approaches and see which sticks. Unfortunately most of the time what happens is that a new “expert” was hired to move everything to Hadoop, because this is what they know better and they don’t want to learn about the current system.
