Why do all 'hardcore' games have system updates?

Wii Games have updates? , i've never had one.

He is taking about how games check for a Wii System Menu Update the first time you play them.  It is not an update for the games themselves.

Many, many different types of games all perform that check the first time you play them.  If there is no update available, then it is a very short painless process.  If you are forced to update every time you play a hardcore game, considering how infrequently Nintendo updates the Wii System Menu, I would guess that you play very few Wii games.  Knowing you somewhat, I bet that's not far from the case.

I have never had an update move the positions of the channels.
