To add to this good answer: in many cases you also don't want to overwhelm the users with frequent, unexpected changes, especially in 'enterprise' software.

This is not so much a problem when you add a new feature like this triple-click which doesn't change existing usage and workflows. But even here you want to add that to your documentation, inform your support staff about it etc.

For changes that affect the look & feel of the product, your users will curse you if you roll out multiple of those per week, even if everything is totally stable and free of bugs.
