Couple of examples relevant to tech: Javascript being the lingua franca for all engineers eventually dominated the market. Not because it is a good language, but because everybody spoke it. Typescript movement can be viewed as vocal minority imposing it's rules over everybody: once you get converted to TS you start hating Javascript. Now, it might mean that TS is just better, period. But another explanation could be that TS is simply viral in the JS environment, similar to Islam being viral in Coptic Egypt.
