The point was going in the direction of "there will be bugs anyway, so you don't need a QA before the release" (which was not meant this way, I know!). Therefore, I was bringing up a different aspect for desktop software. Of course, if there is a bug, it needs to be fixed, but it can also make sense to wait and collect a few bugs and fix them a few days after the release instead of doing a minor release per bug that was found (depending on the severity).
The main difference about the timing is: If you publish software with a critical bug on Christmas eve, you might not spend Christmas with your family because you are hotfixing. If you do this two days before Christmas or just after New Year, you might spend one or even three days fixing that bug as well, but the bug has your full attention during your regular working hours.
Of course, if a developers does not care, this developer would also not spend Christmas fixing a bug, but I assumed that people reading here is more of the kind that takes developing to the heart ;-)
