Fair, but we do archive that stuff on public record. I just am not seeing the leap to what I imagine to be next: digital version of nature reserves. I like preserving nature in concept, but preserving digital stuff just for the sake of keeping it around, not sure if it should be a priority. Just like historical building remodel laws, I get it, might not always be the right move but that is contextual, just not sure such a thing should leak into the digital world.

Definitely agree that preventing change is a bad thing. I think the digital world allows copying so we can both preserve and progress, as the Internet Archive has proven.
