A microwave doesn't need or get updates, but it's also not networked, or rendering across different browsers, or needing to support a lot of users.* That's for the copy of the software deployed on a specific microwave. Presumably though the team that wrote that code are doing some ongoing work adding new features and fixing bugs for new model revisions and brand new models. As well as changes to keep their tooling and development environments up to date or at at least supportable.
