Didn't stop me from switching to Linux for my entire workflow. Industry standard is just a phrase. It doesn't truly mean anything when viable and real alternatives exist.
I don't think that's true, at least for companies.
Industry standard or even company standard means you need a very critical reason to switch because doing so is very costly in ways that don't really affect an individual or a small team.
This is why large corps often still use decades old software that may be terrible by that point, but impossible to move away from.
And sometimes those large corps slowly die off because of those decisions. Technology moves so fast that you can't afford to be a dinosaur using 20 year old software.
