That's not true. If you have good automated regression, have reasonable coverage and do continuous integration you can cut the release as soon as you have a clean regression. It may take a few hours or a day to prep the release (sign-offs, paperwork, push, etc) but it can be done in parallel. There is always a balance. Prepping the release incurs costs in manpower and resources. Pushing daily may not be practical if cost/benefit is not there. For example if it takes 6 hours to prep the release then doing so for a wording change on the page that get 10 hits per day is not practical. on the other hand, if dev team cranks out dozen cool and exciting features daily it may be worth to staff release and QA automation teams to allow them to prep multiple releases per day.
