Yeah, I use an arch derivative so its a rolling distro and even with the problems that entails I update packages about once a week and have not had issues since a bug got me 2 years ago.
How often are things changing for these people that configs need to constantly reviewed?
I guess some people want heavier customisation, whereas they just accept what macOS enforces.
I have been using different Linux distros in the last 15 years (mostly Arch, so rolling), and really I don't customise much (default i3, default vim, etc). Doesn't really require any maintenance at all, I would say.
