Crappity crap... Then again, it was very rarely updated - usual sign of noncommittal developers.

I call bullshit.

Panic has been developing apps for the Mac for many years. Wikipedia lists Transmit for Mac as first released in 1998. Transmit 5 was released several months ago. Though they have been slowly ending development on their iOS apps, this is a preferable outcome to burning money and closing up shop altogether.

Disclosure: I am a customer.

I was talking about Transmit for iOS specifically.

Or stable software. Not every application needs monthly updates.

It’s fairly different for iOS, where base OS requires at least yearly updates to keep up with the times (and at least with iOS 10 such update was very late).

This does not conflict with anything I said. Yearly updates != monthly updates.

And even then you don't always have to update for each new iOS release unless you intend to make use of new features.

I had an app on the AppStore for 3 years without updates before Apple said 'this app needs updating or we will remove it from the Appstore.
