Decision makers are wrong all the time. Have you ever worked at a startup? Startup founders get decisions wrong constantly. We can extrapolate and catastrophize anything. The reason CEOs are constantly jumping onto the bandwagon of new is because if a new legitimately disruptive technology comes around that you don't get behind, you're toast. A good example of that was the last tech boom which created companies like Meta and felled companies like Blackberry.
In my experience the "catastrophe hype", the feeling that the hype will disrupt and ruin the industry, is just as misplaced as the hype around the new. At the end of the day large corporations have a hard time changing due to huge layers of bureaucracies that arose to mitigate risk. Smaller companies and startups move quickly but are used to frequently changing direction to stay ahead of the market due to things often out of their control (like changing tariff rates.) If you write code just use the tools from time-to-time and incorporate them in your workflow as you see fit.

Meta (nee Facebook) were already really large before smartphones happened. And they got absolutely murdered in the press for having no mobile strategy (they tried to go all in on HTML5 far too early), so I'm not sure they're a great example here.
Also, I still miss having the Qwerty real keyboards on blackberry, they were great.
