That’s directly true of all FOSS. Any time you fork something, you have to keep adapting to changes in upstream.

That’s directly true of all FOSS. Any time you fork something, you have to keep adapting to changes in upstream.
This isn't about adapting to future changes, but noticing breakage in the current system.
But also, even in FOSS there can be projects that value stability and isolation, so if you fix some plugin that misbehaves you don't need to adapt because the underlying editor APIs that plugin relied on are stable and also isolated in a way where your changes can't break other users
