I really love your point! I'm still in school, but my relative "outsider" impression is that a lot of changes in the tools developers use seem to be more out of some desire to change things than out of a need to change things.
For instance, there are a ton of JavaScript frameworks out there, but how many have made a noticeable impact since their release? What changes in the quality of production webapps and websites are attributable to a given framework? Given all the effort people put into making and learning to use new frameworks, I feel like there should have been some massive changes in the quality of websites over the past, say, 5 years, but it doesn't seem like the changes in that time have been proportional to the amount of work developers have put into learning and making frameworks in that time.
