Hot take but: it took 20 years for Next.js to catch up to 10% of WebForms offered.
But if people want whatever Next.js offers to build their copycat SaaS with shadcn/ui, so who am I to argue.
Productivity is now wasted trying to make sure that buttons work when pressed or scratching the heads why box is not aligned with another programatically.
You mean many developers want. Actual customers, the ones who pay for your work don't even know what Next.js is and are extremely happy with whatever works. The hard part is to sell the idea that - no, next.js is not the best for your SEO heavy website :)

With technology becoming about trends, clueless founders more and more are pushing for certain technologies.
Recruitment and developers just follow.
