Sync for Reddit wasn’t just created yesterday. There comes a point where almost all software is stable and will run be fine without updates indefinitely. Established Reddit clients were at that point years ago.

That must be why Sync has been pretty consistently updated for a decade.

Just because it has doesn't mean it needed to be.

If I earned enough money from a product to be able to only work on it, I'd update it too - but that doesn't mean it needs updates or maintenance.

It doesn't make a difference what part of the market a business lies in, it's still a competitive market
