I'm not denying model nerfing. I'm asserting an opinion about the nature of the nerfing.
If you want to go accuse someone of denying model nerfing, go find someone doing it and argue with them.

They do drop requests though? At peak times I sometimes have 1-2 requests fail with Opus; no biggie, the harness just retries it. But that, in aggregate, sheds load.
And what about A/B testing? Anthropic doesn't even try to hide that they do this. Limited compute and A/B testing alone, would guarantee a nerfed experience some of the time.
I consider it gas lighting to deny model nerfing.
