We make trade offs between hardware and software all the time, the fact is you must rely on unstable software if hardware requires it. I can’t think of a better example than iOS devices or the M1 (pro) and lack of choice in OS, if you want to run Linux on M1 say goodbye to the GPU and various benefits. Unless your only platform is embedded software which this occurs less on, it’s impossible to realistically expect to never run unstable software. I’m going to guess most consumer computation is running hundreds if not thousands of JavaScript VMs on their devices every hour.
