This is really weird thing to complain about.

When your partner builds her entire dev environment against a very specific version, packages etc. and then you expect it to just work next macOS Version? If you don't put any effort into using containers, vms or even just basic setup scripts then yeah this will not work out.

I've worked with a few physicists and they are scientists first and developers second. Which is okay, but will lead to janky setups that you cannot simply upgrade the OS under.

I want actual updates of my OS and don't want to be stuck forever on some specific version of openssh because some Astrophysicist decides to built her dev environment against it.

So either build a reproducible dev environment or don't complain that you cannot update without issues.
