I don't even think it's fashion. Some ideas sound good but are bad. Or, overlappingly, are convenient to use but actually turn into nightmarish spaghetti code. I don't know how many people are still pushing MongoDB and BASE, for example.

Meanwhile SQL hasn't changed, and C didn't until someone figured out memory safety in Rust.
