Non-backwards-compatible changes to the specification require chartering a new working group at the W3C. It also requires making changes in dozens of ActivityPub implementations and tens of thousands of running servers. This is a lot of work and is not done lightly.

Breaking changes to the specification require chartering a new working group at the W3C. It also requires making changes in dozens of ActivityPub implementations and tens of thousands of running servers. Breaking changes also cause disruption on the working network, since implementations and servers will upgrade gradually, on their own pace, not all at once. This is a lot of work, inhibits the point of the protocol (connecting people and communities), and is not done lightly.
