Good Point
The reason Apple just issues a new version of the iPhone OS when there is an update is for people with lets say 1.1.4 and want 2.2! All they do is download the entire OS and it will replace 1.1.4 with everything from 2.0-2.2! Its like saying, oh i missed that update.

Well, it's a large OS because it was claimed as OSX. It's the whole software completely. Say if there was an issue, a full restore using the entire OS would clear of any software problems. It's just like reformating a computer. When i get a virus or have a bad problem, a reformat fixes the issue.
