Loss of functionality with each firmware upgrade. Why?

Hi all, when I first got my R-600, the FW I was on was the one that didn't allow to see all received messages from a single source all at once, but I was able to control my phone's music player from the watch.

Then, I got the FW upgrade where you can now read all messages from a single source at the same time, but lost the ability to control the phone's music, it still showed the album's artwork and the play/pause button matched the phone's music player state, but anytime I tried to control it from the watch, I always got a "connect to phone" screen and then a "connection failed" error message.

And now, I got the latest FW (the one that includes Bixby) and I lost the ability to reply to messages from the watch, I can't even mark them as read, I can only dismiss the notification.

Of course, my question is. Why everything keeps breaking with every "upgrade"? Is there a solution to this, besides downgrading?

I have a Nokia 8 (TA-1004) running Android Pie
