It's to out-compete the competitors so as not to become obsolete. ... also I hope you're aware that I'm saying all of this 'ironically', to poke fun at the mental gymnastics in the OP's post.

The prize of the competition is what the competitors compete for. There's a prize and the winner gets it; the loser doesn't get it.

Why is this so hard to understand? I guess it's nature's way of weeding out the losers.

I think we should be chasing all the trendy trends to become competitive with the competition. That's the only way to push those numbers up (that need to be pushed up). That's how a winner wins.

Plenty of folks in their honeymoon phase with KDE, it seems.

... it's been less than a year when you could find a bug in the wild that would crash the shell if the mouse hovered for too long on the panel.

I wonder what their 'prompt' was, especially with the demonic blowfish thingy. "Theo De Raadt as a FreeBSD convert assaulting Linux" -- maybe?

some website where you can type the classics instead of just reading them

Is it this one: https://www.typelit.io/ ?

The chatbots, presumably.

This is the answer. Current stable Debian already has the latest release of Xfce (4.18); and for recent gui apps there's flatpak.

For packages like syncthing you can enable official apt repos to get the latest versions.

Other packages for which the latest versions are desirable though the flatpak versions get a bit too finicky (like vim & emacs), you can compile from source. It's not hard, even for a newbie.

Funny thing is that when the creators of the language told H.C.'s widow about it, she said he never really was fond of his name.

I was intrigued by the top bar, but the *fetch screen says 'Unity X11' for DE.

What's up with the Fedora font on the 'explicit sync' though? Hmmm...
