Why are apps like Fairemail, Voyager, etc. updated so often? Why don’t they collect the changes and release them once a month or something like that?

It’s interesting that every time I open Voyager I see an update warnin at the bottom. Is that really required?

    It’s not required, it’s really a matter of preference. Many users, me included, prefer having access to the newest features and bug fixes right away, but that also means less time to test the code for new bugs.

    For another example, look at Debian vs. Arch Linux and how they are released
