Quite true, unfortunately. But I think there are benefits that can be "feeled" almost instantly. I think problem is one of focus.

Lots of team leads don't focus on these solutions and their benefits but rather on the most recent technologies and their own benefits while ignoring (or accepting as inevitable) their costs. The longer you look in that direction, the harder it gets to see what you are missing or could get by looking elsewhere.
