Exactly. I'd say the check of how fast can a security patch be deployed from the moment upstream OS or library releases is a good benchmark for a team/system and should be evaluated at the same level as log audits, what ports are open and what openssl versions are running.

And for cases where there is no personal or financial data involved it is shameful and just a bad practice to not have the system which allow fast security patch deployed. For a system that holds sensitive personal information for hundreds of millions of people it should a very serious issue not to patch the system for months after vulnerability was known.

Deploying patches is easy, validating that they aren't going to break anything (sometimes in hard to detect ways) is hard.
