Lost in Space
It strikes me that it is making assumptions or judgments about the thought processes of a work's creator, but that's not exactly a scathing indictment. Moreover, it is not thriving terribly well. Given that the YMMV index is open, anyone could have added it without discussion occurring.
Digging into the history, it was added in January, 2012 by ~thewriter.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
For such a universal trope (nearly all long-runners have something like it), it's a shockingly obscure item. I've never even heard of it but I can think of countless examples.

No, the other one.
Probably just never been picked up by the troper radar.

Is it even tropeworthy?

A "trope" isn't always about things that are long lasting or recurring.
Maybe Outgrow The Series Tradition would be the apt title?

Isn't Broken Streak kind of that?

Broken Streak is different and subject to a lot of misuse.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?
The most YMMV part of the trope seems to be its name itself. "Outgrow" implies that it's a change that needed to be made, when the description is simply about something that changes over time, and not only brings up how it can be the full range of negative to positive, but links to separate tropes that cover those outcomes.

My understanding of Outgrow The Trope is "this piece of media used to use this trope, but no longer does for whatever reason." An example from the page:
So then, why is this YMMV? It seems to be entirely objective, and it doesn't require the audience's opinion about the trope or its removal. I fail to see how it differs from similar non-YMMV tropes like Put on a Bus, Early-Installment Weirdness, or Out of Focus.
