I don't particularly consider myself a rabid early adopter, but I updated to 11.2.1 when it came out. Google Chrome and Roccat didn't take that well at all, hanging up in seconds. Anything relying on external communications was flakey at best. The Brave browser, however, seemed OK so I knew it was software, not hardware.
11.2.2 seems to have fixed all that.
Having done Software Q/A for a few years, I am willing to believe that Apple is
quite deficient in that area!

It's not just Apple. Microsloth and Adobe also continually release
updates for their software. It's pretty much the new fad, especially
since you can't actually buy install disks any longer and the internat
makes it so easy to get updates.
Some, including Microsloth and Apple with their office apps, are now
trying to push everyone into using crappy online versions instead so
that updates can be done at their end.

It's not just Apple too. Look at Microsoft, Google, etc. :(
Living in a developing country with limited bandwidth but a Mac
household I can't download a Combo Update any more (using wget -c
so I can pick up if interrupted) and then install on all machines,
no, now I have to load the update 6 times, and it it gets interrupted
it starts from Zero.

keep updates that are then available for other machines, so you do not

Yes, the "MicroSoft model". For years, I thought Apple was better than that :-( This update was the first I've seen in a long time that broke a lot of previously stable stuff. Any SQA setup would have stumbled onto that on day one.
Yep. Companies don't care about QA these days.
