Apple Releases macOS 10.14.3, iOS 12.1.3, watchOS 5.1.3, and tvOS 12.1.2 (arstechnica.com)

Apple today pushed software updates for a range of its computing platforms. They are all minor releases that simply offer a few bug fixes and security updates, with no new features -- and there are no new features in any of the beta releases for these versions of the operating systems, either. From a report: iOS 12.1.3 fixes a scrolling bug in Messages, an iPad Pro-specific audio bug, and a graphical error in some photos, and it addresses some CarPlay disconnects experienced by owners of the three new iPhone models released in late 2018. It also fixes two minor bugs related to the company's HomePod smart speaker.

How else can one interpret this, in light of the latest Apple performance?

It's like the writer dosn't understand that Apple just recently released Mojave.

Or in the bitchabouteverything Apple world, each update must be an entirely new operating system?

No Bogaboga, Apple has updates all the time. But the ones between OS changes do indeed tend to be incremental.
