Welcome to the age where people only think about writing software and releasing fast, and frameworks allowing to do just that. Then you see people trying to solve problems like N+1 query. I look 10 years back where there were not many frameworks and you would laugh if you talked about resolving N+1. Everyone tried to touch DB once and fetch everything in 1 query. It seems many people are doing things when they don't know how the underlying technology is working. This is bound to happen. And many new devs are picking up on bad practices and think they know too much..quite depressing actually.
