Anyway, mine was just an explanation on your original (implicit) question, when you said you don't understand why people don't apply updates as soon as possible.
There's a very sound reason not to, while the urgency to fix security issues is so low to be practically non-existent (and in case of Kindles, it is factually non-existent as the security fix Lab126 talks about are usually just made up, and more, you can just keep wifi off for a few days).

To be honest, your points are not unworthy in general: they would be valid if you're talking about "not applying updates EVER", but that was not the point of OP.
Do it, but don't rush to do it, or festina lente as Romans said.
I love doing updates.

My life is so boring, so an update is always welcome.
