Are you really equating an incremental silent update to remove something between one if statement or slightly more and an entire protocol stack that when active fundamentally changes the host networking behavior?

Yeah. On the devices I have, there's no practical difference between a one line update and a complete reload. Either you update the software or you don't, and mostly you don't. PCs and servers are easy, embedded routers and printers and the like are not.
