The update thing struck me as slightly out of touch; if I were to make a list of my top 10 most used consumer products that can be updated, probably 8-9 of them have abused updates to make things worse.

We spend so much time training people that if you hit update, it’s going to suck: you’re going to suddenly get ads in your favorite app, or some new feature is going to get paywalled, or the UI is going to completely change with no warning. It seems counterproductive to accept that our industry does this stuff and then publish an open letter finger-wagging people for not updating.
