How do you feel about newer editions of novels having content changes such as updated tech and pop culture references?

I recently stumbled upon this 2019 post written by Alex Flinn about the changes she made in her novel Breathing Underwater (originally published in 2001) in preparation for it's rerelease, and it has me curious about why publishers and authors think these kinds edits are necessary. I've always viewed older books as somewhat of a time capsule of the period they were written in, so for an author to go back and change outdated terms and references seems unnecessary.

I suppose there's no harm as long as these edits don't take away from the message of the novel, though I would argue that a book with a strong message would not be hindered in a modern day reading just because it includes outdated phrases or references. I feel like in this specific example, Flinn's book being categorized as YA placed more pressure on her to make the changes she did to relate to the next generation of young readers, which is not a bad thing to want to do, but I also believe that the book's realistic handling of abuse is what draws readers to the book and keeps them there, not that they recognize the character's latest tech.

Have there been any more recent books that have undergone edits like these to keep with the times? I'd be interested in doing comparison readings to see if they effect the tone of the book in any way.
