I agree.

It would be more useful if there was a report that people could
consult when preparing to release a new version.

If someone is working on a component, then they may wish to update
dependencies as part of that, but these mass updates distract from the
day-to-day changes.

What is the use case for updating dependencies between releases?

AFAICT the reports don't take into account Java version dependencies,
nor do they distinguish which updates are necessary for security
reasons.
But even if they did, I don't think there is a strong use case for
updating software between releases.
