Are you in disagreement with the point of my comment, or just the way it's worded? Perhaps I can explain what I mean better: New features, by itself, aren't the only way technology moves forward, even thought it's the more noticeable and entertaining way. An improvement in the way existing features are accessed, or even a protection for certain features being accessed in a way that's potentially wrong, can also be an improvement or innovation. Static typing, enforced linters, or the Rust borrow checker are good examples of restriction-as-a-feature. Therefore, I disagree with the original comment's implication that restricting features in lieu of security or misuse is a blocker for innovation.
