Do we really need apps? Usually when I want to use one, I've got to update it first. Better to just use websites.

Apps do not require updating to launch and they autoupdate in the background. If an app is forcing you to manually upgrade either they have poor backwards support oh your computer for some reason isn't downloading the updates.

What if i don’t want it automatically downloading updates?

Then you are opting into a worse UX. You shouldn't be surprised that opting into a worse UX results into experiencing a worse UX like having to be nagged about updating instead of letting your system handle everything for you.

I'd argue the worse UX is letting apps change their UX on a whim without my input, i.e. auto-updates.
