All progress is created by change. To assume changes "break things" is the dumbest excuse for a dysfunctional product I could imagine.
It is not an excuse. Without change nothing breaks. To break anything something has to change, because a working thing will work until something changes which breaks it.
Not all change is constructive, there is destructive change also. For example if you throw a hammer on your computer that is also a change, just not constructive.
