Having an active maintainer fixing security bugs as they arise isn’t “finding new problems to solve.”

While not wrong, ignores that this isn't the norm.

I think we could use the terms releasing and maintaining. Constant releases is not the same as constant maintenance. And it is hard to agree that our industry sees that.

By way of analogy, we seem to think we can improve the roads by building new bridges every year.
