These updates exist to keep the game fresh. The game is supposed to stay around for a while, it's not a series that has yearly releases. If everything was in the game from the start, people would get bored after doing everything. This way they have new things to do.

I have not played Animal Crossing for over a month and somehow watching delightful new things come to it still puts a smile to my face

As much as I love animal crossing, it’s pretty disappointing to see all the updates almost solely consist of things that were already in base game new leaf. Like we still don’t even have gyroids

Next Animal Crossing update is extremely underwhelming though the dream island feature being back is cool I guess.
