As a user, software companies are usually not producing good enough software to justify paying for the price of incremental updates ;).

In many ways, I feel much software needs to transition to "be maintained," very quickly.

So much engineering time and energy is spent releasing not very useful, incremental features.

Engineers... ironically, need to give up sooner in many cases.

The hubris of "the thing I make is genuinely useful, surely" is the profession's Pandora's box.

Pride is most dangerous sin etc etc.
