Problem is hidden assumptions. Happens a lot with microservices too. People write about the problems they're solving somewhat vaguely and other people read it and due to that vagueness think it also is the best solution to their problem.
They are engineers, writing about what they do and what their companies sell. I wouldn't ascribe an "imposition" to that!
As a practitioner or manager, you need to make informed choices. Deploying a technology and spending the company's money on the whim of some developer is an example of immaturity.
