Important for what? Is there adaptability without mutability?

Programmers know that if you implement something with the premise of immutability then if mutability occurs the state of your application changes arbitrarily.

Mutability is good for the ones who can rely on an existing provider of centralized governance to make decisions that benefit them. For everyone else it's just plain corruption.

Ethereum pivoted from decentralized governance to centralized governance across borders. They are now solving different problems and I hope they see it.
