As a BE engineer when that happened, I had just started to become proficient in it, coming from Angular. I threw in the towel and went back to my backend world of peace and happiness. So he's not alone, these deprecations are insane.
I hear from the b/e people about containers, serverless, lambdas, ORMs, queues, schedulers, caches, pipelines (ok, I use these too), databases, API gateways. Oh, but it's podman now, not Docker. And they're moving everything off AWS to Azure. And there's three versions of the API my f/e needs to talk to still in production. And every micro-service depends on a different version of Node. Apart from the one that's in Ruby and the stuff from that department who only use .NET.
I don't believe this promised land of clarity, comfort and purity exists. It's just mess on both sides of the internet connection trying to solve different parts of the problem of turning user needs into money.
Most likely because you work on apps in active development.
Wait till someone asks you to add some feature in app that was deployed a few years ago and need something new.
Maybe fixing security issues by updating the dependencies? How likely will that happen without you having to rewrite the code of the app?
