When will Ableton Live become a stable program?

I have been, and still am, a huge fan of Ableton Live. I started using it back in version 4, when MIDI was first introduced into the program. I used it intensively up until version 8.
I remember I had to create some orchestral music, and Live would crash on me quite often.
In the meantime, I started looking into Cockos Reaper and eventually decided to switch to it. I missed Live's workflow, but the stability and speed of Reaper won me over.
Now, after many years, I decided to give Live another chance. I updated my license to version 12 and started rediscovering it.
Unfortunately, its stability is still disappointing to me. Reaper got me used to stability and trouble-free VST handling, while with Live, I keep experiencing crashes.
I'm running a stable, well-tested system. I also use graphic and video software, and those work reliably. Only Live brings me a significant amount of anxiety because I never know if it will suddenly crash. Ctrl+S has now become my new habit.

I don't want my post to come across as a criticism of Live. It really is fantastic software — but why, after so many versions, is it still not stable?

I know this is not helping but for me Ableton Live 12 (latest version) is very stable, so it all depends on someone's individual setup + 3rd software

When I use no third party plugins, Live never hangs or crashes for me. I started with 7 and am now on 12.
