It's a trade-off. As a user of a third-party library, I would like to upgrade it to get new functionality. But there are breaking changes in the update.

So to upgrade I would have to fix all users of the library to upgrade. While this is better overall for the codebase, it can put a lot of work on others for a not well maintained third-party library. Something like TS has people that help keep it updated. But for something more obscure, it'll be on someone else who cares enough to put in the work.
