Yes, the stackexchange (implicit) model contributes to this. It assumes once a Q has been asked and answered, the issue is resolved. Due to the non-duplicates policy, any corrections or updates are supposed to be added to the same thread. But the original accepted answer will have a tick mark next to it and likely a high score. So naive users don't read further and the obsolete answers remain heeded.

Some sort of deprecation or salience decay needs to be added.

You can edit the accepted answer!

I don't like to mix voices - that's inorganic when the changes are more than minor and can lead to parts of the 'answer' being at odds with itself.

Except for typos, syntax..etc, I don't edit someone else's answer; I leave a comment and let the original respondent edit.
