Sometimes I feel that way, but I also sometimes feel like if a tool works well, I might keep using it if a task seems appropriate for it.  Also, looking at various technologies for things, sometimes it seems like there's a different "language of the month" for a while, and a few are in rotation for some types of projects.  I've seen that mainly for web development - Early on, there were things like JSP, PHP, etc., and then for a little while, it seemed Ruby On Rails was popular, then Django with Python, and ASP.NET (and later, Microsoft Blazor), etc..  All these different ways to build web software projects, and it all seems like whatever the company, group, or single developer prefers to use. I'm not sure if any of those is really much better than the others.
