The rate of quarter life crises in an industry is tied to where in the S-curve the industry is.

At the early growth phase, it's exciting, there are lots of opportunities for advancement, and the industry is adding significant new value.

Few things to question about that!

The mature phase leads to more, "what am I doing with my life?"

The rate of advancement for new people in their career is slower, and also the mature phase is more extractive, so it's harder to convince yourself you're causing some big new positive thing for society to happen.
