Another reason why plugins update often is because both users and plugin search on w.org take into account when was the plugin last updated. It is marketing.

Developers know it is better to release less updates, less often. We try to ship mature and tested code. This way it is easier to spot problems and we do not constantly spam admin dashboard with updates.

The thing is, good coding practices are not always good for marketing. I am reasonably sure AIO SEO prefer marketing and sales to stability and reason.

Come to think of it, I should put on our site that one of the advantages of our SEO plugin is we do spam updates, especially garbage like readme updates.
