One thing I've noticed about Android is that you get updates for a handful of apps each day. I like seeing there is active development on the apps I'm using, but I can't see the need for such frequent updates. I would even consider it somewhat inappropriate for this type of system, because the majority of users will be automatically updated over low-capped data sources (eg: cellular data).
They might have needed that data for something else! My guess is that developers release such frequent updates to pump up their app download numbers. I don't know if that would actually work or not, but it's the only thing I can think of to truly explain why updates happen so frequent compared to software on other systems. There shouldn't be enough bug, or security fixes to require re-downloading an app every few days. That would just be poor coding (or a poor system). I'm definitely not getting that many new features, or every app on my phone would be a Swiss army knife by now. To be honest, I'm not really sure what I am getting from most of these updates, because I've got better things to do than read changelogs. Thankfully, Android allows disabling automatic updates, and updating apps manually, on my schedule, when a version worth downloading is released.
