Yeah, you can list 100 such cases. Let me tell you the most common scenario. I have a fairly popular FOSS CLI tool written in Python. I cannot use the features from the latest version of Python or else I will alienate ~50% of the userbase. This problem does not exist with Rust or Go. This problem would have existed for Java on Android except Google took the burden of "desugaring" the Java 17 code -> Java 8 compatible bytecode for the old devices.
