To be fair, that statement can't be entirely true. For example, there
have been at least two upgrades to the PS3 OS that bricked hardware
pretty widely:

http://www.sticktwiddlers.com/2011/05/18/news-ps3-firmware-update-causing-consoles-to-overheat/
 <= this is the one that killed my first PS3

I also don't think 'UI changes' are the only things users have to get
used to after an upgrade. There are always bugs introduced, no? For
example, I have an issue with my new PS3 after a recent upgrade, that
the Hulu app causes the console to lock up and reboot. My GalaxyS4 isn't
without flaw either. A recent OTA update seems to have affected the GPS
in a negative way, so it takes several minutes to lock on to my location
now and it didn't before.

Updating Cyanogenmod is also a 'block off your entire weekend' kind of
task, not something done lightly - almost bricked my Evo4G when I went
from CM7 to CM9. Maybe Cyanogenmod is a poor example though since the
manufacturers aren't really on board there - then again maybe a good
example as they aren't really on board for us, either. Maybe it's
improved since then though?
