Why would they "eventually break"?

In what situation would a simple script or helper app just suddenly rot away and stop working?

Of course it's POSSIBLE to vibe together a massive monstrosity of an everything-app, but that's not what the author is doing here (nor me).

If it's tied to web APIs, libraries, or OS version feature APIs that are deprecated it will suddenly stop working.

Non-subscription paid software will rot the same way too, so there's no change.

With a agentic llms I can just tell it to fix it. With a commercial solution I'm fucked and either have to find something else or pay for a license (or keep paying every month).
