Believe me, there is a VERY thorough review process ( I have been actively involved ).
However as you know, every vehicle is different, the permutations of different ecus in each vehicle and the software installed on rum runs into the millions over the range.
It’s always funny that everyone complains when it the .20 releases ( the initial of a major ) aren’t immediately pushed to OTA.
Even the major rollouts are done by model , model year and region so they can be paused if there’s a lot of issues.
No software is bug free unfortunately, there’s always a calculated risk involved in any update
