That sounds horrible. We should focus on making good products that last a long time. What is the point of making something new and almost identical every 5 years?
Maybe that's why users should focus on protocols and not on Platforms.
Like Matrix.org
Protocols have a massive problem with updating their feature sets and security features.
If that were so, you would still be in business. The whole thing is products try to continuously evolve, which is what the parent is against. He/she says don't evolve so much that you become a new product. Instead shut shop when it becomes unprofitable and make a new product.
