Answer
They improve code readability and maintainability.
Meaningful update methods, such as `restock` or `sellProduct`, encapsulate specific actions, making code more readable and maintainable. Instead of directly manipulating fields, these methods provide a clear and concise way to perform updates. In an e-commerce context, using `restock(int quantity)` is more descriptive than simply setting a `stock` field directly.
