This is true! I do definitely see the value in longevity of base parts for a system. I still think what AMD managed to achieve thus far was quite remarkable in terms of backwards compatibility!

Absolutely! It'll also likely never happen again, supporting one socket for 5 years is unheard of. I guess a desperate AMD made that decision in 2015 without fully understanding just how difficult it would be.
Oh yes, I doubt that'll ever happen again. But I also think they proved their point well enough too! Intel just launched their 10th gen stuff that, to no one's surprise, requires a new socket. For what is, effectively, a basically unchanged chipset design, more or less.
