Wordpress is ubiquitous. There are more technically challenged users than technically inclined. So here are your options - auto updates, or I'm guessing millions of outdated, incredibly vulnerable sites sitting on shared hosting boxes out there. I like my Webfaction account, I'd prefer the other tenants on my server to be as up to date as possible.

Just such unnecessary snark. The guy wrote a blog post. He's being skewered for it.
