Part of the issue is that modern games are usually getting fixes right up to release. Pre-release reviews tend to focus on things that aren't likely to ever change significantly, like design and writing.
It would be nice if they gave a summary of issues they saw with a disclaimer that they may get fixed instead of omitting that information entirely.
Washington Mutual didn't get bailed out. The feds forced Chase to buy their accounts, making it less dramatic than Leeman.

The dev stated that it mostly exists for more performance-limited applications like mobile.

Only if the publisher has taken steps to stop individuals from preserving them through more traditional means.
Similarly, VLC names their releases after Discworld characters. It's a fun way to make major versions feel like more than just a number increment.
