Be as sarcastic as you want. This is a feeling many developers probably share.

Then those developers won't ever use anything ever. Why would breaking changes in an explicitly unstable development version exclude it from use for all time?

If you want stability, stick to stuff that has stability guarantees, but at the very least let them make breaking changes during development.

And “I don’t care if you use it or not” is a feeling many other developers share so both are valid
