There's a big argument for only releasing evergreen style software, and giving the middle finger to IT orgs that want more control

This. There are lots of groups to blame, but corporate IT departments are high on the list.

What does "evergreen style software" mean? A quick search didn't return an obvious answer.

I think MS wanted this in Win10 (hence the big push on the consumer side by giving it away for free). The problem is that plenty of people, even people who should know better, don't want to upgrade something they think is "working well" for an advantage they can't see.
