> Yet, why do people insist on saying how long they've been in the industry?
I can't tell you that in general terms.
In my case I merely meant that my personal preferences are based on what I have seen done in different places over time. I have seen all sorts of approaches, some good, some bad, some indifferent. I try to base what I do on what I have seen proven to work best in practice in preference to relying on theory, marketing or even product documentation (and no, I am NOT trying to suggest that you, or anyone else in particular, does so).
The only grounds I have for making those decisions, or even voicing my opinion, is my own experience.
