Uh, it's not that simple. :D (Destiny)

Every MMO-esque game I've ever had meaningful contact with, barring self-hosted server ones, had mandatory downtime occasionally. Destiny is no exception. Very likely most of the code changes are not in the clients, but on the server side. It's not worth their time to add much much more time on their end to administer a much more complex system, rather than have a small amount of downtime each week. I'm sure everyone can agree it's not ideal.

So many games do this that there is no way that this is a simple fix. To suggest it's just laziness is missing the mark.
