I get surprised every time I see this meme as I’ve been running arch for about 6 years and I have never experienced anything system-breaking after an update. I once had no graphics because Nvidia had stopped supporting the GTX650, and updating the driver made it stop working. But I have seriously never had any problems updating.
…Mind you, I do use CSM and GPT-BIOS (GRUB) because I am stubborn like that.
Same, I’ve been using arch for about a year, and only issue I had was self inflicted: I removed a drive that was added to fstab.
Manjaro on the other hand was crippled couple of times by updates in similar time span.
Only thing that breaks me now and then (still very rarely) is wlroots-git and sway-git. Once or twice there has been a bug that needed me to downgrade, wait for a fix, or fix myself.

You’re one of the lucky ones, pretty good!

And even then the packages you mentioned aren’t maintained in the main repositories (I think).
Yeah, those are AUR packages, and not even supposed to be stable. The fact that I’ve only run into major issues a couple times is impressive.
