Our test servers are upgraded weekly/daily, and embedded devices we are testing are upgraded daily/hourly. It's just not feasible. And embedded devices has an additional constraint for space and/or bureaucracy. I'm still waiting for the feature complete "less" to be added there after like half a year (we have a weird distro with busybox bolted on top). I understand that my case is maybe an outlier, but I've resigned that I only learn what's available in the busybox and basic Debian.
I wish that distributives maintainers would enforce inclusion of the modern tools like Rak in the default install, then they would become the norm across whole industry. Like for example MS includes Powershell regardless of the opinion of people who dislike it. And now you can expect that powershell is available in any modern Win install. In latest Win11 new Terminal is now a permanent feature in every install and you can expect to have it everywhere on Win11. Etc.
