Why Do People Often Use Trendy Technologies ?

hello,
As my first post i wanted to talk about something i'm really passionate about, that is "Use A Technology You Like and Not A Trending Technology".
Though i'm not really that experienced and i'm still a college student, i noticed that people are really attracted to technologies that are trending like flutter, go and whichever language that makes the more noise at that time,they go for it and do not stick with technologies that are proven to work and last like : Java, php, .net/C# C++ or anything in the top 5 or 6.
they make projects with these technologies and then stop for the lack of resources or for the lack of commitment and enjoyment.
for the past year i've done a challenge with my roommate, as he was learning the mern stack while i was learning .NET Core, his reason for learning it was because it's popular and so that he can freelance while studying, my reason was that i enjoyed the process of writing c# code and i found blazor a good replacement for javascript, the challenge was to see who can get to a 1000$ freelancing first, though both of us didn't reach it,i made 580$ ( 700$ before taxes) and i was told that it was a good price for a 20 day job and for a first job nonetheless.
the moral of the story is "a technology/Framework is just a way/tool of achieving your projects, and enjoying the process is far more important for longevity"
