If life was fine without preprocessors, then why did they see such rapid adoption?

Why did NoSQL, programming language of the week, etc. see such rapid adoption before they died out again / moved back to their specialist niches? Shiny new toys, everyone loves them. For a while.

Sass is nearly 10 years old. LESS first appeared in 2009. This is beyond shiny; these are mature, well-supported tools.
