Calling people a philistine for not embracing new technology is actually wrong
The philistines had a very diverse culture and were actually ahead of many other cultures, especially in the area of iron smithing.

People misuse it for technology
But it all stemed from Hebrew cultures who the Philistines wouldn't trade iron with, so I'm guessing they sent the Hebrew women off to tell nasty stories about them.
