If you are connected to internet during Ubuntu (or any of its variants) installer, you have the option "Download updates while installing".
Download updates option in Ubuntu installer

But even if you check this option, there are updates pending when you boot on your fresh installed system. So my question is, what is the reasoning to decide which packages can be updated during installation and which packages can not?

That option asks if you want to install closed source third-party software for MP3 playback and Flash. I would strongly suggest that you check this option.

Also, I think that it downloads files that are needed for the installer, in-case there are updates available since the ISO was made, to make the installation go smooth.
