It's a marketable commodity. Existing battery life notwithstanding, in terms of efficiency it is highly desirable. Using the car analogy, a 20% improvement in fuel consumption is not to be sniffed at especially for no further outlay.

2.6.35 was released August 2010, .34 was 3 months prior. If they were going for "remaining up to date" they'd be on the current stable 3.x revisions by now. No I think it more likely it's a known, stable quantity for them (despite inherent flaws) allowing them to concentrate on cluttering the UI with marketing and social media.
