That’s part of my point.

Cutting yourself from new frameworks and hardware features just to cut churn would be a horrible tradeoff in most cases.

There are some niches where churn can be mostly avoided, but I think churn is usually a fact of life we could just embrace at a healthy pace.

From the opposite angle, a field with extremely low churn would seem suspicious to me. For instance I would expect any language with no significant update in the last 10 years to have abysmal unicode support.
