Why so many frequent graphics driver updates?

I'm running a 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor with Intel Iris Xe Graphics (on a Dell Latitude 5520).

Intel Driver & Support Assistant (DSA) is notifying a driver update every few days.

Latest is today: "Intel® Graphics Driver 30.0.101.1660 for Xe Dedicated". I just installed version 30.0.101.1631 yesterday! A couple of weeks earlier was version 30.0.101.1340 update.

Isn't it unusual to be receiving driver updates so frequently?

Should I be concerned - or this is "business as usual"?

It's normal, nothing to worry about.

You can check the release notes on each driver to learn more about it's release, often to add improvements and fix issues.
