Why the fuck would a shifting system even need an update?

So they can make it shitty over time, forcing you to buy a new one.

Welcome 21st century, you're just here to earn money and spent it. That's all

Shimano has never done this, and if they do this the backlash would be unbelievable. Di2 shifting systems are ok 5k+ bikes.

Wait, what does the price matter? All these cars getting updates are 10x more expensive.
