The aim of tech should be to allow the most basic version of an app or stable evolution and still cater for those people, rather than face constant new mixed-in dangers of changing big steps without this kind of 'backup' plan.
Loading websites for example, many sites that haven't changed at all but have forced overlay saying "You need to upgrade your browser to continue" etc.
At least I feel like that now more than ever because we have reached enough of a level for social change etc (if some of us want it hard enough with text zoom-like chat etc...) and only need reduce talking to machines most of the day!).
I'm thinking the upgrading of things browser-based is almost as unneeded monopoly / irrational market forces and further reducing useful things by monetising even more etc.
Any new tech that doesn't incorporate the old and/or switches up a user's version often and forcibly when they don't really need to I think is doomed...
█ a) for users constantly getting rug-pulled or having to change when happier with old and still workable
█ b) dev making things with too many whistles and not focussing on human change (for example) breaking their own appeal while everyone races to breaks theirs at the same time. There is good reasons protocol have been around and still used (FTP, XMPP, Email) and perhaps good examples of being a little too overcomplicated in their evolution (deliberately)
rant over - but shout if you feel me!
