I've given an example of a whole repository, that is now 4 years old, full of the types of tests you're talking about. It isn't that hard.

If the desired behavior is changing, then the test should fail and yes, you need to rewrite it. That's how testing works.

It's not hard, but they just make the build of our monorepo take longer and longer without finding actual bugs, in my experience. I feel most unit tests should be commented out once the thing under test is done.

You are arguing against tests. It is not a winnable argument.

No, people are arguing against frontend tests because they're orthogonal to test driven development
