That was when they were on a two-year release cycle, too, so there were basically no major features released between 2007 and 2011. The current new release every year (with features) is probably too fast for reliability and stability, especially because they need to make the ecosystem work with other devices (iPhone, iPad, watch, TV, etc.), and try to combine cross-platform features or maintain some cross platform parity between MacOS and the others.

If they want to do yearly releases, with new features for every device every year, they need to reduce the number of features. There's no point to 20+ features in an update if half of the features from last year stopped working correctly.
