> Currently, a Homey update is an image of the boot and system drives. Because you can’t write to the currently active partition, there are two boot and system drives, so the currently inactive partition can be updated. They switch the partitions from A to B after the upgrade, and then back to A after the next update.

And this isn’t the only reason, the second reason is, if an update fails by for example pulling the plug (which happened more then you’ed expect with the old Homey Pros) while updating, it always has a back-up internally it can fall back on.  
So it is really hard now to brick your system, even when pulling the plug while it is busy updating.  
(I wouldn’t recommend to forcefully try it though 😉)
