I agree. Apple needs to take a page from Android, and start breaking up these apps and distributing them outside of the OS so they can deliver new features faster.

Why do we have to update the entire OS just to get a new version of the photos and messages app?

The new apps drive adoption of the rest of the OS. This reduces the support cost of the old OS and spreads security updates.
