I agree with your point, but the issue discussed here is being forced into updating. Sure, that's an issue because some people aren't fully confident that a "minor update" won't break things. They may or may not be right, but that's a separate debate.

The point is that people want to be able to disable automatic updates, even minor ones, and that's not possible.

edit: I can see how my previous comment could have been confusing. To clear it up, I was trying to say that a workaround for the forced updates would be for vendors to publish a "single version channel". So version 1.2.3 would be a dedicated channel, with no updates ever. Version 1.2.4 would be a separate channel, with only that single version. This would of course be impractical, for both the vendor and the user.
