It is true that old games, even old console games, had patches and we just weren't aware of it.
It is also true those patches were pretty much a joke compared to the hyper patch-friendly current state of things. For example, Donkey Kong Country have 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 cartridges. Here's the list of fixes:
That's a bunch of nothing. Many such cases, with the occasional game breaking bug that you'd face in 1 out of 5000 runs getting fixed. Even buggy games were more polished than today's mildly stable releases.
Divide the industry's history in two halves, pre patch craze and post patch craze, and see which era gave you the better games. It's that simple.
