At last job we had software that had been running without changes since the late nineties. Program did what it was supposed to do so no one ever even thought about it except when we had to take a server down for maintenance. Good software does not necessarily have to change.

How else will Elon add fart noises to my Tesla? And how am I going to keep my smart refrigerator updated with the latest OnlyFans client?

I'm not sure which era had software that was shipped complete and never updated. Even ls has new releases.

it seems like the golden age of shrink-wrap consumer software -- like, 1990-2005, maybe? -- at least had way less focus on updates no assurance of being able to get them over network, so you'd have to actually ship new disks, and that was hard

Examples of incredibly good modern software that doesn't get very many updates is clean-room stuff. People don't like it very much when the CT scanner shows things on its imaging that should not be there or doesn't show things that should and it really can't crash. Ever.

This is true, but it limited the ambition of older software Being able to fix bugs later makes it possible to do much more complicated things "safely"
