The young have plenty of stuff to be stubborn about. At my company we've wasted so much time because people are stubborn about using some new tech or library.

Hammer/nail syndrome. And often people early in their careers who have managed to get some modicum of fame/motivation/movement around a particular hammer run around finding nails everywhere. And there are some who are particularly effective at shoving whole organizations in their preferred direction. Not to say people at my stage in their career don't do this, too, but it does tend to happen among the young and... motivated.
