.NET gets refreshed annually. The last bigger change was nearly a decade ago. So not all that different.
But I don't think that the analogy stretches, really. e.g. where I am all .NET apps are .NET 8 LTS or 9, and will be all be .NET 10 LTS by middle of 2026. You can upgrade an app to a new model year much more easily than a vehicle. The "software application, on a SDK major version" only lasts 1-2 years.
