I think that has to do with Apple's own presentation/marketing. They make the announcement into a big thing.

Do people expect Apple to proclaim “our new version has incremental upgrades, only buy if your phone is a couple years out of date”?

Product launches are always a lot of theatrics regardless of the company.

I don’t think anyone actually takes them any more seriously than a mcdonalds ad implying eating their hamburger will make one more like the cool sports star being paid a million to hold the hamburger.
