I wish this were true.

Unfortunately, often the things that get adopted are the things hyped up the most, not the ones which are technically superior.

Popularity, marketing budgets and inertia often dictate what's popular.

As with all biases, we need to actively and deliberately work against these forces, if we value craftsmanship and professionalism.
