Tools don't always need to evolve though. I don't want my hammer to evolve into a screwdriver too, or vice-versa.

Having separate tools for separate things makes sense when the things are different enough.

Yeah but this tool is evolving. You don't get a say on that, this is open source and devs do whatever they want with their time

But I do get to ask why. And that's what I'm asking.

"Tools evolve" isn't a use case. So what's the use case where you need concurrent writes for a database that isn't client-server?
