SDK maintenance burden across multiple languages

7/10 High

API providers must maintain SDKs for 8+ languages (JavaScript, Python, Ruby, PHP, Go, Java, C#, etc.), each with different conventions and release cycles. When APIs change, coordinating updates, testing, and releases across all SDKs becomes unsustainable, forcing providers to move slowly or maintain legacy versions for years.
