Security fixes are backported to ensure no new features trickle in and to minimise changes. With AV software and the like, this may not be possible. Who knows what kind of viruses require what kind of steps to be taken to detect them. With regular software, security patches are exceptional. With AV software (and the likes), they are expected.
