Many architects (the "fashion forward" ones) want to prove themselves. And they have an intellectual distaste, related to ego, for buildings that are "derivative," i.e. borrow from the past. It's the same as not liking certain jeans because they came out last year.
Meanwhile, the rest of us mostly want buildings to be comfortable and fit well with their surroundings, not caring at all about the architect's feeling of self-worth... Levis are just as good as always. (Not the best analogy...I'm not suggesting uniformity.)
