While you're right, I can only think of twice in my career where there was a "code red all services must update now", which were log4shell and spectre/meltdown (which were a bit different anyway). I just don't think this comes up enough in practice to be worth optimizing for.

You have not been in the field very long than I presume? There's multiple per year that require all hands on deck depending on your tech stack. Just look at the recent NPM supply chain attacks.

I mean I just participated in a Next JS incident that required it this week.

It has been rare over the years but I suspect it's getting less rare as supply chain attacks become more sophisticated (hiding their attack more carefully than at present and waiting longer to spring it).
