Doing this would place trust in those who are writing code of node software. It would also centralize control of Bitcoin.
The reason why a new version of node software would be released is because features were added and/or rules were changed (validation rules). If someone doesn't agree with these changes then they would likely not upgrade (although they may upgrade for other reasons). I held off upgrading my node for many months because I did not agree with RBF features added to then-most recent version of core, and even went as far as to use alternate implementations of Bitcoin software.
Some people argue that the current development team should be releaved of their duties of writing Bitcoin software. Your proposal would make this impossible, or nearly impossible.
