Technology should serve its users, not the other way around and change-for-changes sake is an extremely bad strategy.

"change-for-changes sake is an extremely bad strategy."

Yup. It's also the go-to strategy for startups and tech companies in general once they have run out of real ideas for their product and one of the quickest ways tech companies' products degrade into shit.

I agree. However, the reality is that software changes constantly. We can accept change and move on with life, or fight change forever.

Not everybody is in a position to 'accept and move on with life', their lives are challenging enough without constant change.

The fact that us techies tend to downplay those challenges does not make them any less real for others.

Why should anyone accept planned obsolescence?
