I’m old enough to remember when shitcoiners were saying bitcoin sucks because nothing new is being done “to” it. And bitcoiners vocally stating that this is by design. And now there seems to be some argument - probably related to funding - but total lack of discussion about what exactly should be ossified and why it’s never a good idea not to maintain software.
Discussion
One of the upsides to this is that it makes pushing major changes a lot harder, sure, updates can be created but it shouldn't be simple to change things. Human behaviour is obviously a key part of the networks defence mechanism.
I think one thing that'll make the conversation harder is people will hear one or two good arguments then repeat those, without having to consider everything themselves. We see this with people parroting Saylor, for instance. Then sides become entrenched. Good luck to devs who want to push through significant changes over the next few years.
