Usually when we plan to build a house (complex application) we make sure 
that the foundation will not disappear in the next couple of years 
(framework will be supported, bugs will be fixed, etc.)

Wrong analogy. The application will be complete only when it's dead (unused 
anymore). Living application is continuously maintained, bugfixed, extended, 
improved, refactored etc., and the foundation (Prototype) can (and should) 
be updated to more recent/stable/modern version.
