There's nothing that says it has to be immutable. It's not uncommon to perform similar searches in e.g. AWS to select the latest version of some AMI or another resource that is subject to change, and applying with no changes to the Terraform code would update the resource. This isn't really "infrastructure" either. It's a neat use case.

Very common scenario with lots of neat use cases around it. One of the more interesting ones - use a GitHub pull request listing data source to create an ephemeral environment for each PR.
