Updates that Apple, or anyone (Microsoft etc) pushes to customers has been internally tested for a while on different rings of risk. People who write the code run it relentlessly to start to catch all the issues and then start pushing out updates to varying pools of people who can take those small bits of risk of a bug here or there, and poke holes in it. Once it reaches the company's QC metrics it is pushed outside. Pushing out bad updates ruins your credibility, companies are incentivized not to do so. Updating your computing devices as soon as public updates are made is vital to your own security/safety.

An update might break the feature I need, or change something my workflow depends on (more common). I'd rather wait for blog posts with workarounds/fixes. As it tends to be extremely time consuming to fix it myself (as it's often outside my domain).
