"Very rarely do you need to update a page once it's been posted so we punted on that feature for now."

Uh... okay.

The most likely scenario is: edit, read, edit, read (repeat N times), publish the page, read it again, find a mistake, no way to fix it unless deleting the page and paying again.

It's weird this is an issue. I don't think I ever edited a page when I posted on a blog and I maintain a couple WordPress blogs for businesses and associations and they never update posts after they've published either. I don't think it's as uncommon as you think, that or maybe people need to proofread before publishing?

I don't think "issue" is the right term. It's a caveat and as long as it's displayed visibly (it is) it's fine.

But JFTR, I think I've edited around 50% of all blog posts I've written in the last 10 years at least once. And not only because of typos. Some people might need to change their workflow.

He's from Twitter. It's part of a culture.
