Ah, but you're talking about something else: hardware is quite different from software. Once your machine is out in the wild, you can't update it remotely. But with software, shipping MVPs and iterating is not only possible, it's almost always the right way to go about it.

I frequently tell my software teams "We aren't putting rockets in space; we're shipping an admin panel. We can revert code or change things if we don't like it."
