In my experience updates are not forgotten. Even automated.

Upgrades however are a different story. The major version changes require a ton of testing and manual massaging. This is why enterprises like to have that infrequently. For the systems that are easier you can still choose to follow the releases quickly.

Because security patches are being back ported is usually not a real issue.
