I don't think its simple. A lot of people (myself included) are simply busy with life, families, jobs, etc. If you are extremely busy and you aren't an expert, how do you know which experts have an agenda or not ? Then sometimes even the the most highly rated experts have a sudden shift of ideology/agenda/something later. I have personally witnessed several highly competent long standing developers suddenly change, and push social agendas into everything. The worst is when HR also starts pushing social agendas into everything. I'm expecting the layoffs to continue intermittently for another year or too, it gives management a nice cover to get rid of a lot of people.
