I don't understand, I've never seen software be done. Usually, it's the new hardware that forces the change, or a security flaw, but it's also just a never ending support cycle. But sure, sell that thing twice I guess 🤔 still won't be done unless it's a rugpull.

Sure but maintenance is different than building the foundations & new features.

Build the foundation once, like bitcoin’s consensus rules and base system for example…

ah ok.. ya im getting ptsd from people thinking they can just write something in a certain amount of time move on and it's 'done'. Satoshi is the only one I've ever seen pull that off.

It takes years to build timeless foundations… Satoshi is one of the only ones I’ve ever seen do it too.

Linus made git and moved on pretty fast too though, encouraging others to maintenance it afterwards.
