No it doesn't. It's just not a product that is designed for your requirements. It's also not a product designed with my requirements either as I feel they take the piss with their "stable" ideology especially when a project doesn't follow the versioning scheme that Debian wants it to. But it doesn't make it wrong, it's just unsuitable for what you want. Use Suse or Fedora if you want a simple yet up to date Linux. The rest of us who just want an up to date working system already did.
