It's not that things aren't possible, it's that there's always more, and often better, options to pick from. Going back to medicine, it's like surgeons have to learn new techniques, but with the difference there there isn't anywhere near the same degree of specialization.

A better analogy would be if there were 10,000 ways to cut out a tumor but the patient only wanted the doctor to use one specific method because that's what they have heard about. It'll either be the method, "everyone's using these days" or it'll be a method that was popular in the 1990s but the tools available to perform that kind of surgery are hard to find these days because they were obsolete 20 years ago.
