What makes contant updates unavoidable is the ever-connectedness of the current world. If you miss out on security updates, then your sensitive data is at higher risk to be harvested, or the device can be joined into a botnet. This is why we can't return to the old world of doing software.
Also it's not like software was written to be perfect, like, ever. Product versioning is not new to the current era.
