No, my problem is always it COULD be used in theory to do... some special things...
Which I haven't seen BEEN put into practice...
(which is to be expected when there is a combinatory explosion of mock call to write equals to number of method to test times number of interface method to mock!)
But enough, I am not here to argue, on the contrary!
You love dependency injection! Wonderful! Me too! Gonna write no more public constructor or static class for the foreseeable future ever!

First off, stop wanting to be an ass kisser. No good ever came from wanting to kiss someone else's ass.
Second, I'm always suspicious whenever I see a technology being used everywhere throughout an application. It makes me think that they don't really know how to use it properly.

Well in "The Economist" they boasted the virtue of networking, which can be expediently describes as ass kisser... Clearly I need to work on my networking too, as I suffered greatly last year from expressing my opinion (main customer doesn't want me anymore) and nothing came out of it anyway!
Further it appeared to me that skill and work will only take you so far...

I think so too! But it's obvious unless I can win the battle I better leave the boat or join the bandwagon. Arguing left me in a bad spot.. I'm tired of arguing... It only cause me trouble and people don't listen... Further I'm quite contended now, so I don't have a pressing need to find the best tool, I think I already played with it!  and I am ready to go on board financially with people who still resist them!

There is a wide gulf between networking and getting on with your colleagues, and ass kissing. Ass kissing is where you subjugate power and influence to another individual. Getting on with other people doesn't mean you have to agree with everything they say and do. I have many disagreements of opinion, but I am always assertive in expressing those differences, whilst simultaneously being courteous.
Stop ass kissing and start being assertive. You'll win far more respect.

All that matters is whether someone can sell it. Doesn't need to work well. Doesn't even need to run. But absolutely must sell. Unless of course you like working for free.

Yep.
Realistically the idiom that you are using now is unlikely to adversely impact the running of the product. Costs more in maintenance and adds complexity. And in my experience over time it tends to make the code more like structured code and less like OO code.
But none of that can be quantified as a real cost. Or at least it is a good bet that your company can't actually measure maintenance costs and never will.
So just do it.

Too be fair a lot of this stuff normally only adds to maintenance costs and since the vast majority of organizations can't quantify maintenance costs anyways attempting to buck those in charge usually is nothing but a waste of time.

When two ways work, but I find one, shall we say "inelegant", I do it both ways, and run performance tests.
Here's the important bit: If the performance tests show that my preferred way doesn't give a worthwhile improvement, I drop the subject.

Use Dependency Injection wherever there will be a need to swap out an implementation.
- Injecting different configurations
- Dynamic loading of functionality
- Replacing an implementation (eg repository) with a mockup for unit- or integration-testing
Mocking up "Now" is a common thing for unit testing date sensitive stuff. There are dozens and dozens of articles about doing this, and it's a classic example of why using static methods (eg DateTime.Now) can get you in trouble when it comes time to test.

I am currently working on my first greenfield project where I am using DI. I personally love it for testing purposes, but when it comes to utility classes THAT DON'T DEPEND ON EXTERNAL RESOURCES, I won't define an interface. Instead I'll just test their public API separately to know that the logic in that class is working as intended. I can then confidently test the code that uses that utility class as an external member.

Regarding your INowResolver which as stated below it's understandable especially for testing.
There are better ways to handle that.
From ayende.com[^].
public static class SystemTime
{
public static Func<DateTime> Now = () => new SqlDateTime(DateTime.Now).Value;
}
Then in tests
SystemTime.Now = () => new DateTime(2000,1,1);

Yeah, it's what I adopted in my own home made project!
I want my home made library of utilities to work out of the box!
I don't want to write lines of (obscure) initialization!

Not sure how often it occurs but it certainly often enough that I have seen people get 'stuck' on an idealization until it bites them - severely.
Probably comes about when they are at the stage where every new idea seems 'fresh and new!' and they want to try all of them out but can only fit a few in. Then someone decides to impose it as a mandate.
This isn't a new trend either. Plenty of examples in the past.
One should use idealizations or even concrete technologies because they are useful now and not because they might be useful at some hazy point in the future. And they should be used with restraint.

The only game I have for the Wii U is New Super Mario Bros. U, which is what was (and is) in the system.

For one, if the browser is active, the game is off. It's not exactly a multitasking environment.
