The point was requiring regular updates to stay safe, so yes, security updates. The attack surface of a password manager would be infinitesimally smaller than that of an OS.
As far as general updates go, I agree with you, but these shouldn't need to be that frequent. I still have software from the XP era running on my computer.
It's not just security, it needs to be updated to continue to run on your devices. New versions of iOS, Android, Windows and Mac OS change things that need to be taken into account. The browser extensions must be kept up to date. There is a lot of work to do just to keep things running without adding any new features.
