The components and technologies in products are only in production for finite periods of time. A mature product will use components/technologies that were available when it was being designed, and they therefore have a much higher probability of needing some obsolescence mitigation or modification in *your* product lifecycle than something which is currently still developmental.
This isn't theory - it's a piece of engineering science which is matched by observation every day.
