It's funny how the operating system barely changes from one version

Linux adds significant new features in each release.
 
Windows ... changes the GUI.

No, that's not true. If it were, every six-month release of Ubuntu
would be different than the previous. Meanwhile, there is little
difference between Ubuntu 14.04 and 24.04 except for the GUI and the
kernel.

 
Does Crud mean all the thousands of apps and libraries that got upgraded
or added in the interim are as nothing?

If a library falls in the forest...   I can see both sides of the
argument. Fedora has frequent updates of stuff that I don't even
recognize. Presumably they are improvements but of what?

VS Code generally has a monthly update and restarts with a tab explaining
all the new improvements. Most of the time my reaction is 'Yeah, that's
nice, whatever it is.'

Many users like it that way. 'Improvements' like Unity tend to get noticed
and it isn't always in a good way.
