Why are apps like Fairemail, Voyager, etc. updated so often? Why don't they collect the changes and release them once a month or something like that?

It's interesting that every time I open Voyager I see an update warnin at the bottom. Is that really required?

It's a very nice thing to have, but I do worry about the effect this has on the EMMC storage in mobile devices, which has a finite lifetime - particularly for larger cross-platform apps, seeing as two of my previous android devices failed from worn out EMMC.

At the moment I just check F-Droid notifications and manually update each app on a biweekly basis, unless there's an urgent fix or something
