Isn’t the concept of a single staging environment becoming a bit dated? Every recent project I’ve worked on uses preview branches or deploy previews, eg what Netlify offers https://docs.netlify.com/site-deploys/deploy-previews/

Or am I missing something?

no you're right, "staging" is gradually being replaced with per-commit "preview". but at enterprise scale when you have distributed services and data, and strict financial controls, and uncompromising compliance standards, it can often be unrealistic to transition to that until a new program group manager comes in with permission to blow everything up

I imagine you missed the same thing I did: the last update time.
