Given how frequently needless breaking changes are made, or features are removed and paywalled, I would consider this a feature rather than a bug. Sometimes I have higher priorities than working to support someone else's breaking changes.
Two years ago, I was using an official library for interfacing with a video chat service, and they decided to break the underlying API without updating their library, so I had to rewrite the library myself.
