Wouldn't this be a sign of a mature or maturing product that's moved closer to maintenance or addressing the longer term health of the platform? I'd argue that most technologies should expect to lose their excitement factor because they've conquered most of their battles and are more like utilities or tools. From an outsider perspective it seems like that is part of the reason it's significant news when there's changes like Google increasing the API level requirements on the store requiring new rework on apps as it shows the platform can't be considered fully stable yet, highlighting a difference in viewpoints.
