There are plenty of people who most work with older tech, and they are quite often not the especially vocal ones, writing blogs, debating approaches on twitter, discussing on this site (which obviously skews a bit to people working in startups), etc.
People in startup, or software development social media bubbles tend to get a very distorted view of things. Like that everyone is using react, or that everybody is doing SPAs, unless they riding very front latest trends where things are headed a little more back to server side (e.g. server components etc).
But both of those are nowhere near everyone. The whole point of this article is a reminder that what everybody is talking about on sites like this is far from a complete reflection of the space. Most bloggers like to talk about the latest tech, and most startups often use either the latest or near latest, but it is important to remember that the resulting perceptions are skewed relative to the sheer number of developers out there.
