Why is it important to add 'Experimental' annotation?

What is the benefit of adding annotations suggested by the lint such as "@ExperimentalApi" or other recommended stuff like this?

Does it mean in the future it can warn us if the API changed?

Yes, it means that the API can change or be removed in future.

Experimental APIs are good for testing around new functionalities but usually their use is discouraged in production code.

PS: Kotlin now uses @RequiresOptIn (and @OptIn) instead of @Experimental which is deprecated. You can find more info here
