BTC strength is its immutability. It's the main thing that differentiates BTC from ETH, XMR, BCH, LTC.

Giving up ones main identity is always bad. If there is value in BTC and its immutability the market will make it profitable and by that secure. If not, the market will move to other established solutions the moment you give up your unique selling proposition.

Immutability = a transaction can’t be reversed once confirmed into a few blocks

The term has nothing to do with forks and upgrades, which have been around forever.

Any coin that sees regular hard forks (all but BTC) are not immutable from a hardened experience. Only ossification guarantees that things can't get changer retroactively. And chain security is dependent on code integrity going forward.
