It might seem strange, but they are using a change/build/deploy mechanism designed to deliver updates to any and all parts of an OS across a range of hardware devices.

I'm pretty sure the mechanism, from end-to-end, is complex, and providing an optimized path for small changes would require resources, introduce more risk, and come at the expense of something else.

Sucks, though, for everyone who doesn't have a reasonably fast or reliable internet connection.
