You’re assuming that their good reason is *your* good reason.

The fix in the firmware may address a situation that simply never happens in 
your application.

Let’s flip the question around for the group:

1. How many times have any of you upgraded hard drive firmware, as a percentage 
of drives you’ve personally bought or been responsible for managing?

2. Of that percentage, what percentage showed a discernible improvement in 
behavior after doing the upgrade?

I’ve personally never done it, having never seen the point in doing so.

I *have* upgraded motherboard firmware, but only after looking at the change 
logs to see if it fixes something I care about.  I’ve looked at such change 
logs many more times than I’ve actually downloaded and attempted to use the new 
firmware, because most of the time, I decide that it will give me no relevant 
benefit.
