It depends on the industry. In some places changing a dependency, no matter how trivial the change, entails a lot of work. Think for example about embedded systems where deploying is a lot harder than pushing a Docker image somewhere. It is often far cheaper to analyze whether the fixed bug can be triggered to avoid upgrading unless necessary.

In those situations, why not go ahead and keep the code up-to-date and consistent, and simply not deploy when you don't need to?
