Software updates are better modeled as an immune or stress response. When made in response to a stimulus (bug, feature request, security fix), yes, the system grows stronger. When software updates eight times a week, that's pathological auto-immune behavior. The system is cannibalizing itself in response to imaginary stimulus.

Honestly software that gets a bunch of updates often gets more brittle and problematic over time, like how a person accumulates illnesses over time.

Though I guess a software project or software team usually does get stronger over time, as they figure out pipelines, devops, systems and rituals that work well for them.
