If you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Then, it mostly works, so management makes "economy of scales" and removes all screw drivers, since they need more skills anyway.

Now, you are only using nails.

Until someone else rediscovers screws and starts another hype cycle.

Except in manufacturing, this actually works. Economies of scale are real and trump pretty much every other consideration, and they're what enable pretty much everything we have around us that isn't biological.
