So if I understand you correctly, your statement is that everyone

Nope, this is a misunderstanding. One has to *check* for advisories at
least once or twice a week and only update (and reboot is necessary)
if there *is* a vulnerability.

Checking is quite different from, actually, updating. What you may
want to encourage your competition to do is to deploy a piece of
software which actually *gets* a severe CVE twice in a week; that will
certainly bring you a bunch of new customers.
