It doesn't help that "upgrading" an iOS device is a one-way ticket.
Religiously updating the original iPad effectively bricked it (not literally, but to all intents and purposes) years ahead of its natural lifetime, due to one particular major release that killed performance, reliability and battery life in one fell swoop.
If there no going back, why would you risk going forward?
