In general, the idea is to have an ISO that has a pretty recent set of patches and updates on it. As others have posted, there is almost a gig of updates to perform after a new install at this time. I don't know about you but for me that is a pain.
Think of this as a way to make Linux easier for those newbs that don't understand.
A simple question is;
How hard is it to make an ISO that only changes the versions of the packages included? Keep it simple.

Fedora is a free distribution. Does anyone know of a operating system you pay for that releases updated media for each set of updates. Now I agree that if you are downloading updates over a dial-up then that is a problem. But over a high speed line you just start the update and go to sleep or go have a dinner or go read up a book, etc. There is also a cron job that does updates automatically so you can do it while you sleep continually without worrying about it.
I think people seem to want a lot for no money down.
