This is just the hype cycle in action. New technology comes out and its fanboys and shallower (from a usecase perspective) users are adamant it'll change everything everywhere. Deep practitioners understand limitations because they're involved in the work. Eventually the fanboys are proved wrong or gravitate to the next hype and everyone else finds the place for a new technology.

A good example is Go some years ago and these days Rust. But it's the same thing, just the hype cycle at work.
