My experience is the hiring & 3rd party ecosystem is unreasonably effective at convincing people who do not want to look deeper into the workflow & architectural distinctions when making a decision. They want to make a quick decision based on numbers & will ignore any other reasons for considering a decision.
In reality, hiring & 3rd party ecosystem don't have much of an impact, and may even have a negative impact, on the success of a project. Being able to hire any Tom, Dick, or Harry who just graduated the most popular Programmer Bootcamp floods the talent pool with formulaic, inexperienced, & unimaginative developers. I'm not saying new developers are necessarily low quality, just that low quality developers tend to leave the software development profession when they realize it's not their calling within a few years. Sadly, many of these low quality developers move into technical management and have an even bigger influence over tech decisions.
Better talent tends to self-congregate toward better tools to augment their talent. I would prefer to work with a smaller talent pool with better talent than a larger talent pool with diluted talent.
3rd party ecosystem means more dependencies of varying quality & maintenance burden.
