It doesn't matter much if you run 2.2.1 or 2.3 on Galaxy S, as it doesn't have the hardware that is needed for most of the new stuff in 2.3. Sure, there is the new keyboard, and the black status bar, but that's about it.
Android 2.3 is known to have had issues with the phones rebooting now and then on Nexus S, and Galaxy S might have the same problem. The problem was fixed just a few days ago in Android 2.3.3. So Samsung might have had very good reason not to upgrade beond 2.2.1. At least not until now, when 2.3.3 is out.
Updating is not just about having the highest OS version number, it's about getting a good, working product.
