Yes - but not having them upgradeable means that if your contract is dealing with a lot of money and a small bug was discovered, you are unable to patch it after the fact, even if people are actively abusing that bug

It’s not really about greed. Deploying a program and having it unchangeable forever comes with risks, and more often when dealing with very complex applications, those aren’t worth it




People should NEVER touch any upgradable contract. It is literally centralized, and defeats the whole purpose of DeFi.
