Most of the time, you need quick patches because of fairly recent dependency changes, so if you just wait and kind of "debounce" you dependency updates, you can cover a lot of supply chain vulnerabilities etc.

It's not debouncing, it's delaying. Ideally you can still update a specific dependency to a more up to date version if it turns out an old version has a vulnerability.
