It’s because they only tested updates from one version to the next, and not every version to every newer version.
It is a complete image, but phones today have nontrivial state that may be a problem - e.g. your baseband processor might have its own rom with its own update protocol, which changed between image 2 and image 7, so image 10 after image 1 will be unable to update the baseband.
