Sadly I often feel this is the state of most of the web-dev stack due to high churn. There are extremely smart people working on tools who keep forking out new frameworks/tools/components/scripts and a bigger pool of smart people who keep consuming it.
Having seen in enterprise incredible amount of man-hours wasted on migrating, re-writing and creating POCs on the latest fad, I sometimes wonder whether this cycle is productive or we keep at it just to keep our brains working and not go insane thinking of geo-political/financial/meta-physical questions. Its perhaps Crack for the tech crowd.

Well, at least they get the privilege of being regarded as very smart. Why be a lowly smart web developer when you can be elevated to the status of extremely smart framework author/designer? If they care about that kind of status. If you want them to be a bit less trigger-happy, perhaps don't praise them so much for creating their own small contributions to the fragmented landscape.
