I don't think this is a very charitable take. Many people, myself included, consider change for the sake of change a cost, not a benefit.

The less I think about my keyboard layout or system UI widgets the better. I can see why someone might like the novelty of those changing but for me they are just a means to an end. Any time I spend hunting around menus that have changed or fiddling with a novel keyboard means less time for things that I actually care about.
