It's not a defective culture meme, because the modern ecosystem is moving fast. We're using to thinking about digital creations as if they're forever. This is incorrect. Software without a platform doesn't run. Platforms are always changing, and sometimes platforms die and get replaced with other ones.
Think of software like a living being, not like a statue etched in stone (although even statues etched in stone degrade).
