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?

They only do that on critical security updates which are very often quite small.
Updates are a hassle for the company to deploy and users to install. So they compile a bunch of small updates into a larger package and deploy them all together so that people don’t have to do a dozen little updates every week.
This approach also allows for more productive beta testing (again, fewer updates, easier management, better tracking if something goes wrong) before wider release.
