At least in my case, with version update of code I wrote,
the new version has more features.
program-0.3 versus program-0.4
or have or support a different target, for example x86 or / and ARM.
Not so many bug fixes...
With hardware itself you may be stuck, but you can bring out a new model :-)
Same as with cars..
