I think this is just the flipside of Moore's law and the exponential progress of computing across the last 70 years.

I don't think you can realistically expect the benefits of rapid progress without the downsides of chaos and instability.

A world where all programs worked correctly for ever would probably be... a very stagnant world. Maybe we shouldn't wish for it

The chaos and instability reduce the pace of progress. I would say you can’t realistically expect rapid progress without a healthy degree of stability.

It's all a matter of degree - of course complete chaos is antithetical to progress.
