The Buddha always had to balance between asserting the right way forward for an individual, the Sangha, and the laity during his contemporary time and future with societal expectations and norms, political and royal considerations, and other factors.
In the ultimate sense, the Buddha appears in the world to guide us toward the ultimate truth and liberate ourselves from Samsara instead of hanging on to the conventional truth.
There was consistency in the Buddha's approach.
