Of course new stuff is cool, but the

Makes perfect sense, huh ?
Of course it makes sense; but, not for reasons of greater maturity or insight. People who have been commuting for years already have a bike equipped, pretty much, the way they want it.
At the same time, people who are newer to riding and still working through the learning curve about what works best for them in their situation.
You are not looking at maturity, or foolishness. You are looking at individualized learning curves.
