Hi: I think the unwillingness to embrace change has to do more with the fact that it takes us out of our comfort zone. For example, if we have read our email the same way for a number of years and pressed the exact same hotkeys in the exact same order, it becomes automatic, and then, boom, you are faced with learning a new procedure and the old sequence of hotkeys which became automatic, no longer work for you and this causes frustration. This happens, or has happened to all of us at one time or another. I think this is partly why long-time JAWS users, if faced with the prospect of having to learn Window-eyes might tell anyone who would listen that Window-eyes is very hard, if not impossible to navigate, which we all know isn't true, but that is the perception of some longtime JAWS users who are just learning Window-eyes.
