No individual customer wants frequent changes. They want changes they care about ASAP and changes they don't care about never. But unless I'm maintaining per-customer versions (which can make sense for high value enterprise customers!), promising user X that I won't make any changes until January necessarily means telling user Y that I refuse to resolve their showstopping bug report until January.
