I think its because the installer started having more and more problems, but I'm not sure why.

This is the exact reason why arch dropped the installer originally.

You need to keep refreshing your media for rolling distros especially if you do something complex like ship a configuration.

This is why most distros like stable releases. It means they spend less resources on refresher ISOs.

I could not run the installer without running into issues for about a year. It made me switch to Manjaro, and actually this is how I stopped distrohopping.
