As a teacher, I additionally see this from an edtech perspective.
The yearly cycle of education means that the next time I do something might not be until a year later. This is plenty of time for link rot or for an edtech start-up to go out of business (or even for a surviving company to break things in incompatible ways). This makes me reluctant to rely of technology in the classroom. Of course, a year is a long time in the tech world so these things are reasonable. In education, though, it feels like “I can’t believe I only used this website twice (I.e. two years) and they already went out of business.”
