I'm pretty sure this is the case. I think that the ideas are great in producing a vocabulary for classes of structures within software architecture the way people creating a car can talk about gears, rotors, pistons, gaskets.
Whether or not you have the right rotor/gears/gasket/piston is up to the specific case. And sure some of those things may become like carburetors, and may become largely obsolete. But there is definitely a value in having a consistent vocabulary for things like "That box that controls the air-fuel-ratio mixture before it goes into the cylinder."
