Necks usually get straighter over the winter months and need the truss rod loosening off (turn CCW) and during spring and summer the opposite is true and necks get more relief and need the rod tightening (turn CW)
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

May be things are different here in the frozen North!
Both temperature and humidity can be factors and I know some areas get cold with lowered humidity and the specifics of your heating arrangements in your home could also affect it.
Some guitars are much more prone to it than others , so it's an individual thing

Some of my guitars need a tweak - some seem pretty much impervious to seasonal changes, as you say.
Similarly, two guitars in the same circumstance can behave totally differently...
In support of what @richardhomer says my older guitars are less affected and my 70s 80s Les Paul are not at all bothered by it
I stuck a 79 Artist Model in a soft case on my way out the door to a rehearsal and it was bang in tune and perfectly set up
That guitar has been through two house moves and in and out of cases over the last couple of years. Strings haven't been changed and it hasn't been played and it was still at concert pitch
It's no biggie tho. I'd rather an instrument that needed the odd tweak and was fantastic to play and sounded immense rather than a rock solid, never needs adjusting dog.
Small fluctuations that possibly would go unnoticed on a non set up guitar with a lot of relief may cause fretting out or make the action seem a bit off.
It's a bit like being clean shaved rather than having a beard . A clean shaved man will notice his bristles (or his wife/boss may) by the end of the day whilst someone with a beard will hardly register any growth for days or weeks at a time.
