Having an incompatible replacement is cold comfort if you had a codebase written with the original Angular

Sure but if you're going to go that far, that's basically like saying we shouldn't have breaking releases ever. Sometimes, tech needs to evolve in the face of other threats, like React overtaking Angular.

“Evolving” implies slowly changing to keep it modern. C# “evolved”, Java “evolved”, the C standard library and C++ STL has been “evolving” for decades. But they all maintained backwards compatibility.

Again, that does not mean backwards compatibility is good. See how bloated C++ is in an effort to keep BC while it should have long ago broken things to be a more lean language.
That has no relation to whether something is B2C or B2B. Stadia is a consumer product, ie for consumers.
You have a point there about those other ones, but honestly, those are so few and far between that I'm sure you had to search somewhat carefully to find them. I highly doubt many devs were actually using those (besides Angular, but it was replaced with 2+ because React came onto the scene, it didn't get deprecated with no replacement).
