I wasn't aware that a platform's ability to move fast was now a feature. Sounds more like a moving target, honestly.

I want stable tools that let me do things quickly. In the current JavaScript ecosystem, you have the "do things quickly" part without the stable part. It's really easy to get bogged down in the mud. My guess here is that with the increasing industry tendency to move on every <2 years, everyone is building their shaky house and then getting out before it crumbles with them inside.
