To be fair, I think most of the more recent changes are just backporting engine upgrades and stuff from the new game they're working in. That's still a lot more effort than just saying that, but it's not like they're developing explicitly for NMS anymore.
It also let's them test the upgrades in a real environment before the new game launches, preventing another mess at launch. It's a smart use of resources, keeping people discussing how well you maintain the old game going into the new game. It's free press, along with probably more sales.
Thanks for explaining this! :)
