For the third and final time: consider the analogy about cars.

...and cars also changed very rapidly during early years, not to mention how often they would break down and how they basically required the user to be a mechanic to repair them on the spot for many years.

So the analogy isn't all that good is it?

You are comparing immature tech with very mature tech.

What technology emerged into the market fully finished?

If your point is "don't use technology until it is mature" then you are of course free to not use it for now.

that's not a useful analogy, it's not like these models are CPUs where the cores just get increase in core count or clock speeds

they fundamentally change, architecture, the way they're trained etc.

the analogy is asinine since they are not even remotely the same thing.

Also cars change rapidly too, maybe thats the only thing they have in common lol. Have you gone from one maker to the other? everything is different, even how you set the gears.
