That is not by design, but by largely unavoidable consequence, and
so a Debian stable release is not considered a "beta" ion any
respect.

There will never be as diverse a user base for a testing release as
there will be for a stable release. Some people have for this reason
chosen to wait for "first update" of software releases as long as
there has been software, far previous to the existence of Debian.

Obviously you can't just not release it as you will still never get
the desired amount of testing, nor know what that desired level
actually is (an unknown unknown).

There's more information here:
