Some new tech actually needs an exploratory phase where, yes, you have to consider everything as a nail—until you figure out what is and what isn't. It's easy to come 10 years after everything has been figured out and say "You never needed React/Blockchain/Saas etc.".

That's a really interesting take. I'd say some of the problem arises when so many people are trying to profit too early during the exploratory phase. A lot of hammer salesmen selling in to all the wrong markets and seeking a quick markup on their hammer investment.
