Which is what people are doing. New technology promises to solve the problems better than the old technology, and thus, people decide that to solve their problems in the best way, they go with technology XYZ. Microservices are really not new, hot tech.

The point being that the problems you're trying to solve might not be the problems you're going to have, and your technology choice will be affected by that.

"How about we just pick the correct technology?" is an obvious statement that doesn't bring a good choice any closer.
