In tech, blind support of anything is simply based on superficial aspects like popularity or marketing without any specific supporting arguments around price, performance, etc.

I mean, if I'm doing a project with one other person, we can use logic to get to the best solution, but if it's three people in a group or more, then the most charismatic person becomes the leader, and the rest does whatever the leader wants, even if they make bad calls.
