Screwdrivers are extremely simple. Computers are extremely complex and subject to complex environments. I'm not sure this is a fair analogy.

Then that's an argument to make computers simpler.

A tool that keeps spontaneously changing under its user's feet is not a particularly useful tool.

I bet screwdrivers and similar tools would have to change more often if the laws of physics changed out from under them.
We should be glad god (or whoever the sysadmin is) is content to not constantly patch this simulation.
