It is a matter of degree.
DB2 for LUW and DB2 for z/OS have the biggest install base, so IBM invests the most in them, and that’s where you get the most new features.
Here’s new features in DB2 LUW 11.5.9 (November last year) - https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/db2/11.5?topic=new-1159 https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/db2/11.5?topic=new-1159 - maybe nothing earth shattering but they are still adding stuff. And IBM is getting ready to release the next major version (12)
DB2 for z/OS version 13 came out in May 2022, here is new features - https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/db2-for-zos/13?topic=13-overview-whats-new-in-db2 https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/db2-for-zos/13?topic=13-overview... - IBM makes a big deal about the machine learning integration (“AI”), I have no idea whether that’s a genuinely useful feature or a gimmick
But, compared to LUW and z/OS, DB2 for IBM i gets significantly less investment. And DB2 for VSE and VM is getting close to moribund.
