A computer is a tool chest, programs are individual tools.
There are many ways to build a chair. You can use all hand tools to carve and cut the individual components of a chair, hide glue to join them together, and milk paint to apply a finish. You can also use power tools, screws and lacquer to build one. Many choose to buy a flat pack of precut and drilled pieces held together with a combination of screws and dowels. There are collectors of vintage chairs who argue that the old methods are the best, and there are people who buy mass produced monstrosities of leather, steel and foam, chairs that no individual human could build on their own.
There is no correct method of building a chair. Each of the methods above have thousands of variations and approaches. There are thousands of tools that could accomplish the job, thousands of ways a tool could be used to build the chair, and thousands of variants of the same tool but customized to fit a particular need. Some tools can be used for purposes that they weren't designed for with surprising results, both good and bad.
Some chairmakers are set in their ways; over the years they've honed their methodology and have learned every secret of every tool in their chest to accomplish any task in front of them; to suggest a new tool or a different approach is akin to asking them to cut off their hands and learn to use new hands. For them the craft of chairmaking is about honing their abilities over long years; it doesn't matter that their tool chest is full of tools from before world war II, they've been in service for 80 years and can be in service for 80 more.
Other chairmakers are excited by tools themselves and are constantly on the hunt for new tools; planes of various sizes, blades of various sharpness and material, new methodologies for joining pieces of wood together and new stain formulas to try. For them, the craft of chairmaking is about using the best and latest tools and methodologies, finely tweaked for specific scenarios. If they feel their tool in their tool chest is not up to snuff for a particular task, they have no problem buying a new one if it promises a solution to their problem.
In social circles of people who make things, the two types above are usually at odds with each other. The chairmaker set in their way thinks the tool chaser chair maker is spending too much time and money fussing with their tools and buying new ones. The tool chaser thinks the chairmaker set in their way are doing things slow and inefficiently, and if they would only take the time and spend some money to learn the new ways they'd be better off.
A software update that changes the UI and how things get done in the software is akin to Craftsman opening your tool chest, rearranging all your tools, and replacing tools with brand new tools made of different materials and different sizes.
The tool chaser is excited about this; they automatically get updated to the latest and greatest* and they dive right in to learning the ins and outs of their refreshed tool chest. They don't get too attached because they know it's ephemeral and that the next time Craftsman swings around things could be completely different again.
However, the chairmaker who was set in their ways, who has spent years honing their craft and learning the intricacies of every tool in their chest has had their world turned upside down. Instead of being able to start working on their next chair, they have to spend hours, days, weeks learning where their tools went. They're confused why their hole borer now only fits certain types of bits when their old one could fit any. They're upset that they have to use biscuit joints and screws now, because Craftsman took their hide glue and chisels and replaced them with zinc screws and a contraption that can make biscuit joints, but only for specific types of biscuits that have to be purchased from Craftsman direct. They would do anything to get their old tools back, their tool chest re-arranged to what it was before. Craftsman however doesn't want this, so even if the chairmaker takes the time to find their old tools and rearrange things back to where they were, Craftsman will be back to change it when they're least expecting it. Perhaps Craftsman will decide that trying to change it back violates their terms of service and takes the entire tool chest, tools and all, away from the chairmaker as punishment.
In the end the chairmaker set in their ways could learn the new tools, could get used to how things are arranged, but their chairs will still come out differently than they used to, and will likely be inferior to what they used to build. Not because the new tools are necessarily inferior, but because the time taken to hone a craft had to be tossed out. It'll take years for the chairmaker to rehone their craft, but only if Craftsman doesn't decide to update their tool chest again next year.
