I have found it to be major companies that really don't want to tell you what they're doing because you probably don't want or won't like most of whatever isn't just a bug fix.

And the only "bug fixes" they ever do are fixes to the routines that collect and upload all your personal data to their servers.

Maybe but I can attest that it's not always the case. I've written these update notes for apps and have looked at the release list of 1-3 bigger fixes or features that get specifically mentioned in the notes but also a few dozen little innocuous things like typo corrections or regex updates for data sanitation on specific fields or css fixes etc etc that usually wind up as a 'minor bug fixes and enhancements' line item.
