This better reflects the intent of this principle, and removes the re-use of "incubation" in defining it which is also better form.

If your goal is to say something about growing platform capabilities, say that.

I am strongly opposed to removing the word incubation, and disagree that incubation is only for eggs. There is ample evidence of the term in the context of startups and technology.

This point is not about "we should continue to grow the Web platform and add new capabilities". The point is 1) recognize that the web DOES continue to expand, and 2) more importantly, we will be cautious and intentional about how we expand it.
