That doesn't line up with my experience. I think humans have a pretty strong tendency to take for granted the advantages of a current situation when looking at something that solves a very specific new problem. "The grass is always greener"

"Hating" something of course doesn't matter, what does matter is response time in being able to debug production systems, and developer efficiency, and satisfaction / employee retention. So it's not orthogonal, imo, as it's very likely correlated with an efficiency loss.
