In the past all software was offline. You had to get it right before you shipped it. With 95% of work now being cloud-based, it actually seems to be getting hard to keep an engineering/product culture that can deliver right-first-time software, because most engineers, PMs, and managers have never worked in one. I've actually seen products shipped now which wouldn't work at all without an update because the software wasn't finished, and the business decided to ship anyway (to retail) giving engineers a race to get the working version before customers opened the boxes in a few weeks. So yes, it may need an update, just for fixes, because that's how we roll now apparently. It sucks.
