btw funny story since many comments mention NFS/CIFS:

I have a share mounted at /smb and the server sometimes just dies so when I want to unmount it I run umount /smb but my shell (zsh) hangs after typing umount /sm and the b doesn’t even show

I guess zsh does a kind of stat() on everything you type but bash came to save the day

some reasons that I can think of:

• performance improvements (e.g. JIT)
• new standards (e.g. WASM)
• vulnerabities
• new features (e.g. web engines weren’t always sandboxed)

It’s like Nix but has some extra features and uses Scheme instead of a custom language.
