Sometimes, doing something different does result in something better.

For example, EVs. Compare EVs to ICEVs and you can point out a lot of faults, but ICEVs have had 100 years of refinement. Perhaps you're comparing battle hardened SA with fledgling LLM based SA?

Never don't do new things, not only when its for fun, but especially when its for fun. If you want to be closed minded, that's your choice, but don't try to put that mentality onto others.

Keep your non-hacker mindset to yourself.
