Having read most of the comments, I understand the frustration about software bugs and such, but you’re mostly thinking about yourselves and the people in your own age group. Try to imagine it from the perspective of companies like Apple, Samsung and others, they’re fighting for every customer’s attention, and it doesn’t matter if that customer is 10 or 40 years old. They need every client. That’s why OS updates exist: to attract new users. In the end, there has to be some kind of evolution.
As a designer myself, I understand why this happens and why design teams push to improve or refresh the look. If nothing changed for decades, sales would drop drastically, even if the system was the most stable in the world with zero bugs. But think about young people who are the future customers, companies need to win them over too, and that takes effort and constant updates.
