Flashing every day isn’t too uncommon if you’re often changing the key map, macros, and other configuration. I probably flashed my QMK keyboard an average of 10 times per day for the first week, and then that tapered off to once or twice a day for a while.

That sounds like a failure in design of the keyboard and/or your own personal use case instead of the designed-for use case.

I doubt you have this same sentiment about continuous integration in the context of work. Same concept. Eventually you get every thing dialed in and you keep it there.

I sure hope you're aware that you're not the typical browser user.

Could you explain why are you flashing your keyboard so often? I have QMK keyboard, and I never felt like I’m missing anything by using it as is out of box. It also has a hardware switch for Mac/PC layouts, which is the only feature I could imagine having to flash it for, if that wasn’t available

Changing the layout of key map layers for convenience, and macros, back when I assembled my first QMK keyboard. Haven’t touched it in years now, though.
