This is where I think the OS "vendor" packaging application model (e.g. Linux distribution) is very nice. I periodically update everything, and don't really need to worry about each application.

There are a few exceptions (Discord sabotages it with mandatory updates, and I use Jetbrains-Toolbox's update mechanism) but for the most part it works out very well.
