The other comment to be made is that updating the firmware in a mobile phone is a lot more of a hassle than upgradeing softwares in your computer. With firmwares, you'll typically have to either attend to one of the service centres or mail it in. And then there's all the reconfigurations afterward. For busy people, it's lost productivity.
I don't think SE has bad intentions in their initial releases. The firmwares may be less optimised for speed and what have you, and problems may only show up when you are pushing all the advanced features. For most users who don't really use those special features, they'll be as happy on v1 of the firmware as the very last version in the series. For some, stability and full performance with the very last version is mission critical.

Most of the configuration setting can be sent OTA, so this presents ZERO problem. Maybe you have to manually set up a ringing tone or contacts again, but storing all data on the MS DUO prevents lose of data. I still do not see the problem here. I flashed a v800 to z800. I had the phone back to the way it was in 30 mins, with 3G, WAP, MMS, email, ringing tones---->contacts, and profiles configured. I do not think anyone here considers their phone any less mission critical.
