Terraform has a montly(ish) release schedule: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/releases
Terraform use providers for integrating with i.e Azure, GCP, AWS. So new features from Azure are implemented in the AzureRM Terraform provider (https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azurerm). I think they release new updates once a week on fridays, but it's really up to the community to implement new Azure features.
Why Bicep: We a ton of customers that use ARM Templates to provision their Azure infra and they did not like the verbosity of the ARM template language but liked the benefits of using a platform native solution. So Bicep really addresses the verbosity problem and if you are starting out in IaC I highly recommend trying out Bicep. We have a great learn module as well. But at the end of the day we want you to be successful on Azure whether it is using TF, Bicep, ARM Templates, CLI, PowerShell.
