You can also run your car for longer if you never stop to take it to a mechanic too.
I don't think the comparison to taking your car to a mechanic is a good one. When I take my car to a mechanic they are returning it to a stock configuration. They don't need to update to a new, slightly different power steering this month, new brakes next, then injectors....
Certainly. But it's being compared to not taking systems down to do maintenance at all.

Then they find a compatability problem and the car n3eds to be rebuilt
Manufacturing comes to mind, shuttering a machine down to apply patches monthly is going to piss off the graph babysitters, especially if the business is a 24/7 operation, and most are currently.
In an ideal world there would be times every month to do proper machine maintenance, but that doesn't translate to big money gains for the glutton of shareholders who don't understand anything, let alone understand that maintenance prolongs processes as opposed to running everything ragged.
