In the universe I inhabit the opposite happens. For any number of consecutive similar problems teams will pick a different approach/technology each time, because they "already did that" and the needs of the project/business are secondary to their desire for novelty.

I think there’s a lot of middle ground between chasing shiny new things and change that corrects systemic shortcomings of previous approaches.
