Software is the only product I can think of with the update craze.

Yep. One software and Two hardware so far (A cowling on the front springs to stop them from cutting your tyre when they break and a break-light switch that can ignite the brake fluid)
Do you update your tv?
We will ...
Do you update your chainsaw, can opener, toilet?
Did the dishwasher, A PCB blew up and the replacement came with a fixpack in the shape of gaskets to be fitted in marked locations and an ejector pump to be plumbed into the "washing circuit" to keep some level sensor clean.
I even had a plastic thingy break in an electrolux hoover that came with a fixpack.
I think the main reason for updates is $$$.
