Unfortunately that's true for 99% of the Manufacturers.
But then, why haven't other manufacturers designed their products backward
and forward compatable? Clearly it can be done.
Look at what having a product, and supposedly a professional one, being
easily placed into the hands of every Tom, Dick, and Harry with a credit
card has done. Look at the Residential Market.

Hopefully never! Do you really want anymore less trained/certified people
installing alarm systems? More Bass companies peddling to the untrained
General Public?

That's never going to change. Every Manufacturer has to feel special, or
more advanced than the next. That's the niche they believe.

Some are slow to learn, and of course they have to be reactive, not
proactive.

People in general don't give to shits about quality, they're more interested
in the cheapest choice.
That's why you'd only have three pizza places to go to in that mile.
