Fiber won’t change, only the products that use it will.

Commercially, there’s a chance that something bigger and better will come along but for residential, I doubt it.

Wait a minnit. You're the guy who said this:

The easiest explanation between multi and single is this:
Imagine a highway tunnel through the city (the actual glass fiber itself). In multimode, you will see your normal traffic of cars all over the place heading in the same direction. In single mode, it’s just your car and no one else’s.
This is the reasoning of why tx and rx strands are required for full duplex communications.

When fiber was first introduced, and ever since, did/has everyone installed fiber with tx and rx strands? That would maybe meet the idea that "fiber won't change, only the products that use it will." Or was there single strand multi at first?

Yes, fiber will change. It's the way of the world.

After all, once houses had four pair phone wiring, they were wired for networks. Except, um, well, uh, it was CAT3. Wire doesn't change, only the products that use it change.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
