I believe that this is a core problem with the human condition. Humans naturally imitate others subconsciously. We are herd animals. For example, people will get in line for a show, just because there is already a line for it, without even knowing what it is. And in general most rationalizations people make come after the fact. Including things like software architecture. Everyone is using React so I have to use React. But wait, now all the cool people are using Svelte, so that must be th way. But the hardest part is that those social considerations as I said are not conscious. They go on in the background pushing the rationalizations without people even knowing. But the worst part is when this stuff gets official with things like 'best practices'. Which are usually just rationalizations for doing what most people are already doing.
