it's advantageous to use those things you listed because that's what the market can provide talent-wise

More silliness. Pay developers enough so that they'll stick around. If they stick around, then you don't need to hire for talent in a particular framework or language. You can hire for intelligence, creativity, passion, drive, whatever... and invest in training people when they get there.

Jumping from framework to framework and language to language as the talent pool does is incredibly wasteful.

It's amazing FANG companies have any turnover based on that logic. Turnover happens for a variety of reasons... like global pandemics... you can't make a blanket statement like that and expect to be taken seriously.

Sorry, I was speaking in common parlance and assuming most readers would realize that I don't mean literally 0 turnover.
