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?

In case of open-source projects like Fairemail, your budget is very likely zero or in negatives. Very often it's one or few developers who make the app basically for their own daily use, and publish it on a 'use at your own risk' basis for everyone else. So yeah, if you use any open-source software, please do some testing work if you want it to improve.
