Why look at results when you can look at analysis!

The problem with this mindless cargo culting around frameworks and tech stacks is that these cultists look at business results and somehow believe that they have anything to do with arbitrary choices regarding tech stacks.

It's like these guys look at professional athletes winning, and process to claim the wins are due to the brand of shoes they are using, even though the athlete had no say about the choice and was forced to wear what was handed over to him.
