Many programming languages like that exist: ANSI C, Pascal, PHP 1.0, Ruby 1.0, Python 1.0, etc. No one uses them. They could simply choose not to upgrade, but they don't.
If you assume people, on aggregate, are reasonable, then it seems that the value of changing languages outweighs the cost of the churn.
