There are two competing issues here. One, as applications you use get updated, they often require a newer operating system, and constantly using an older version of that application may make data files increasing difficult to update. Remember, eventually you're going to need to buy a new machine. They don't last forever, and I have found that security updates make machines become sluggish, and eventually Apple no longer supports older operating systems with security updates.
Now, on the other hand, these annual updates, from what I can see, put a *real* burden on application developers to update and test their applications in time. And often they don't make the deadline, telling users to *not* update their operating system. If updates were every two years, I think this would give developers more breathing room.
That's just my 2¢
