As a really stupid example: the sets of integers less than 2, 8, 5, and 30 can all be embedded in the set of integers less than 50, but that doesn’t require that the set of integer is finite. You can always get a bigger one that embeds the smaller.
Many of the problem that can't be fixed for backward compatibility reasons are because they'd break the ABI, not new code. I think that's very different from other language's policy, which, from the ones I'm more familiar with, is about building old and new code together, rather than linking old and new code together.
It makes for a much more restrictive, but also ambiguous and not guaranteed, set of requirements on any change.
Agentic coding absolutely blew up from demand, users are not being tricked into paying $200 a month, and they’re not complaining about hitting rate limits because it’s useless.
