Upgrade != replace with something new (like using another OS or whatever)

Backward incompatible change means there is cost associated. It is like changing your furniture every 6 months. New furniture is fun, but unless your needs have changed (like marriage, children), it won't add you any benefit other than a new look...
update/upgrade == replacing with something worse.

"because that's what you do" is not a valid justification.

This is a pretty nevrosed way of seeing the world
How often do you remodel your house?
