Sure, that's valid.  Although for installations contained to just
Fedora content, the upgrade from release to release has been downright
boring (that's a good thing).  It's almost equivalent to a reboot.

Perhaps there are other reasons, like some third party software not
working on F32, for example.  I'm generally curious about how people
actually use our distributions and what prevents them from just
drinking from the firehose.

Besides rpm-ostree still being bugged as of Fedora 32? Outside of Fedora
workstation no one seems to care what state other spins/versions of
Fedora are released in. You can't tell me third-part repos not
incrementing with the Fedora version isn't release blocking...
You lost me a bit there.  rpm-ostree being buggy does seem like a
reason not to upgrade, but I'm not sure what that has to do with third
party repos.


If you install RPMFusion repos on Fedora 31(probably 30 too), rpm-ostree won't let you upgrade since it is unable to increment the RPMFusion repo version.



Or the fact that Fedora breaks third-party software by doing things few,
if any, Linux distro do like running X. Org as non-root?
Which third-party software is that?  Security is indeed messy sometimes.


Every pre-existing third-party Nvidia GPU overclocking utility.
