On one hand I want to agree with the quote you posted, but on the other hand implying or making it seem like the OP sees themselves as "the most intelligent person in the world" is putting the question into a wrong light and seems disingenuous. The OP's question is valid and one should be allowed to ask it. Most tech choices are made on the basis of incomplete information and incomplete planning or even no planning ahead. Many are merely following hype, instead of truly looking at the options and making a wise choice. Hype creates awareness of products or software, which ultimately reaches the uninformed masses. People not in the business of making software themselves have usually vastly less information to base their choice on and often make questionable choices. This in turn generates more incentive to continue making software like the one they chose. This is what amounts to the quote you posted.
