My point is in relation to the post above, where its about Apple's marketing. It is improving, but it looks different to the average consumer when you say "we have improved the security of x" as opposed to "we have fixed these existing defects that did x".

In relation to someone being annoyed that Apple doesn't openly say the former. It's because of their marketing and image that they say the latter, it always have been.

To the average consumer they like seeing the former, but for tech heads we prefer to see the latter.

I fully expect that the average consumer is not reading any of these notes, and either has automatic updates on, and stuff just magically happens at some point, or has them off, and then wonders why shit breaks 2 years after their last update. The segment of the population that has auto updates off yet waits to read the release notes to make an informed choice regarding updating, is very small. And I'd hazard a guess most of us are on this thread.
