Learning to use any new tool comes at a time cost, and if I learn this and then a newer, more convenient tool emerges that can replace it, I get stuck in the question.

Are people driving the tools?

Or are the tools binding people?

Perhaps too cynical from my dislike of frontend but I sometimes suspect the churn is spicing up monotonous work for some people.

Yes, I also don't like doing front-end development work, not because front-end development work itself is offensive, but doing front-end development work is a very meticulous thing, which requires me to invest a lot of time, which will reduce my energy investment in other work content.
