Because individual libraries choosing to change quickly is comparable to language stability how? The relevant comparison would be "run a 3y old react app (or a 20 year old website using JS) in a modern browser or interpreter"

Yes, and it would still run fine I guess. I think only eval() changed over time. APIs and so on are still the same except for some Netscape stuff.

Insofar as stdlib for C is a library, I think it’s not the worst comparison.
