They still believe that they are tools. The goal is working software, they're just overusing design patterns.

The goal is "the one true architecture" that can handle any future change. It's BS and soooo many self proclaimed "architects" fall into it's trap.

Except that people (and I have done this earlier in my career) make a lot of uninformed assumptions about what future changes might actually be and then when an actual future change comes along it often turns out to be different from what was expected and everyone gets a deeply unpleasant surprise.
