Things have been this way in the #technology sector for quite some while. I'm reminded of a joke post about the craze over the pending release of #Marathon by #Bungie. Macintosh gamers (yes, they existed, I was one of them) were so desperate for news about the first ever outstanding FPS game for the classic Mac platform, they were filling the Internet with breathless gossip about every tiny mention of a new update or a new build.
#Software has gotten far too used to being unfinished, in other words. There's come to be almost an expectation that software (even #programming languages) are never actually finished or finalized. Everything needs to be constantly poked and prodded at and new parts bolted on, ad infinitum. Every such change is regarded as newsworthy by #technology journalists.
