You are right about that, many companies does not take it too seriously, which is bad. Personally, if I am about to buy a crucial technical component for myself, I do check their support and release history.
But on the other hand drones are a bit different. If you fly drones professionally, you'll want to know if there are outstanding issues, and what is fixed, also historically. Normally you would like to be at the latest available firmware, but I know for sure, that the newest is not always the greatest. I remember the Inspire 2 had some serious changes, and often the release notes where so bad and users started to note things about the firmware after flying - how the drones suddenly behaved very differently (dangerously), and it is crucial information if you fly professionally.
That is why it is very important that all information about changes reaches the user of the drone. We are piloting aircrafts, really. We need to know the software/firmware changes that alters it. It can also have an impact on insurances and how you are able to use your drone if major changes happens. |
