… when the update involves a fix for Mac OS?
I've always wondered about that.
It does seem weird! But in my understanding: They share a lot of code, so it is easier for maintenance to keep them in sync. Otherwise, imagine the confusion on the forum when some users say they are on one version and others wonder why they can't access it. Or a fix to Mac might inadvertently create a Windows bug, so it needs to go out to be found.
It's a stupid practice that a bunch of people will come in to defend for no particularly good reason.
450MB x how many Windows users getting automatic updates/want to buy a book & are forced to update = a lot of bandwidth. Surely Logos pays something for that?
I'm no longer on a metered connection, but this really bugged me when I was.
There must be some more efficient way to do it. Just send a patch through for the version number, shouldn't be more than a few KB.
I suspect it isn't stupid, but I have often wondered the same. I write and maintain some software, but the package size is small, so it's easiest and least error-prone to just update everything. Besides, I don't have to fuss about which files were updated and which were not. So that makes sense to me. 450 Mb isn't awful for most of us these days. A few years back it was. Patching a few kb….not a good idea. An entire file might be ok, but so many things can go wrong doing it that way.
But these are just my random opinionated thoughts and don't answer the OP question.
Another reason may be: users will often log in to a Mac and Windows, necessitating synchronisation.

Quick question. How much of a book can you copy and paste into another place (say a google doc or an obsidian document) from a logos resource for private use? I assume there’s a percentage or fair use guideline but Googling it doesn’t show me an answer. Does Logos limit it?
Could we get updated metadata information on the version of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens? It currently shows that Faithlife published it in 1997. I seem to recall that the company "Faithlife" didn't come about until around 2014. And at any rate, it would be helpful to know what the original version/publisher/date…
How do I get the words of Christ in Red in the NRSVue? It comes up automatically in the NIV 2011. I have the 'letters in red' in the general setup for Logos.
I sent email last year to sales support email address for some questions. No reply. Recently, I raised a ticket with Logos regarding change of plan (adding another year). No reply. Does Logos help customers via email or ticket at all? Thanks!
