That's not true.  Feature backports are occasionally incidental in, e.g,

its bugfixes, and the code has changed too much to make backporting the
bugfixes by themselves tedious.

There's a difference between security updates, proposed updates for
released versions of the Debian OS, and updates to unstable.
