I oversimplified our use case.

Usually on my line of work, the company gets a request for 
proposal given a certain problem and corresponding technology 
being used.

We then look for developers with the skill sets being asked for.

The teams are usually a mix of people with the requested skill 
sets and a new ones that will learn on the job as a means to 
acquire those skills, in case similar projects appear.

So the direction of what technologies the company masters is 
driven by customer requests, not by what we might suggest.
