Are you sure? I'm pretty sure .deb and .rpm packages both allow that

Not the OP, but I support Ubuntu as desktop and server OS for an engineering collage and have for 10ish years. Some LTS upgrades don't require many changes (mostly minor package name changes) and some take months of work to get rolled out (mostly for workstations, the server upgrades are usually quick.). Not everything gets upgraded every new OS release. If we had to upgrade everything every 6-12 months it would eat up a significant amount of time for our small team.
windows update just doing a normal write causing the active chunk of flash memory being used to hold something in the boot loader to a different failed/failing section
PSU (Oregon) uses C++ as just "c with classes" and ignores the rest of C++ for intro to programming courses. It frustrates people who already use C++ but otherwise works pretty well.
The (a?) problem is that only the largest / most profitable players can afford to implement these systems. So while well intentioned they just shut out any company/service without loads of extra cash
I work in an org with 8ish FTEs, a handful of student workers, and like 200 volunteers. Almost every service wants $5 or more per user per month, that's $1,140 per month per service. We selfhost open source solutions for everything we can and sometimes have to write something in-house to meet our needs.
