Yeah, but nobody here is suggesting long lived branches, nothing about a feature branch requires that it exist for a “long time”. Your local “main” branch that you’re developing a feature against is a “feature branch” you just aren’t calling it that.

But even if it did, regularly remerging main back into it (or rebasing) does solve like 90% of the issues being described here, and further comes with a whole host of other benefits.
