Engineering is a lot about trade-offs. Use a new (dynamic/not stabilized thing) because it is 20% better at something, but you risk to need to adapt or use something old and stable that involves more work? It is possible that many people avoid thinking explicitly about these trade-offs then they are upset. But if you worked in the field more than 6 years you should have seen the pattern. I worked with people that preferred 10 years old, stable technology and they did not have surprises. There were some downsides, but I think these types of companies are there.
