That could be the case. However keep in mind that a huge number of consumer wireless networking products undergo numerous hardware iterations during their lifespan - I've seen Linksys, Netgear, and D-Link products go through 6 to 7 versions before being replaced by a completely new product/model number. Perhaps some of it motivated by cost reduction/efficiency improvements, some by security, some by performance/reliability improvements.
