An interesting take on the problem. As a server-side developer, supporting two versions of an API that are actually different (breaking changes) is very difficult. Twice the number of endpoints, twice the number of DTOs, twice the bugs, twice the headache... Breaking changes also mean potentially very little source code sharing between the two versions; translating to twice the maintenance effort too. The argument "if you ever do a /v2 then it's already a different endpoint" really struck home for me. Gonna have to think about that some more.
