No surprise. I would guess that the installed base of Fritz is N times (N = 10,
20, what ... ?) that of Deep Fritz. So there are more potential complainants
when something goes wrong, thus more effort will be put forward to fix it ...

Regarding the other engines, that's a more interesting question. I suppose it
comes down to Fritz being put forward as the 'flagship' in marketing.
