At some point, things should be able to be fully feature complete. Maybe update the UI toolkit every five years to appear fashionable. In practice, the industry loves to replace fully working projects rather than tweak existing, so we will never get to such a state of nirvana.

Can't prove if it's true of all software. But examples of categories of this type seem to exist. Linux and blender are two examples.

The software never gets to total nirvana. What happens is it gets to a state of nearly nirvana such that changes are tiny.
