If an apple update fixes a few bugs in the code. How come the update can be over 4GB? Wouldn’t they just push certain aspects?

That depends on what and were in the program the bugs are. One important thing to remember you dont have and dont execute the code of a program on your device directly. You get compiled binary files that are executed. And usually its easiest to exchange the entire binary file if you have to fix something. Sometimes it might even require to exchange multiple binaries to fix the bug and at somepoint you would just straight up exchange all files.
Then there is also always the possiblity that they are updating more than they tell you. You can even assume they will never tell everything they did. Firstly because a lot of stuff just doesnt matter for you. Secondly because sometimes when they find security problems that arent known they dont want to tell hackers what they should look for in unpatched devices.
