"Steam does like everyone else but gets praised for it."

No console or handheld gaming system is giving out yearly refreshes.

I think it's more than just not doing yearly refreshes, it's that they don't want to do releases that are only incremental in nature, which is an extremely common behavior, especially among consoles.
