I might argue the same things is true about getting everyone in North Korea to switch from wheat to growing cotton. An amazing technical achievement perhaps, but is it the right thing to do?
That's not to say that upgrading to iOS 9 is the same as forced labor, but when you control the market as tightly as Apple does, and then fan the flames of the "the new new thing" as something you have to have ("nothing has changed except everything"?), yeah, it's not gonna be a really hard sell.
I think the most impressive part of it is that a lot of people are reticent to upgrade due to fear of bugs, and it's a testament to Apple that the vast majority of folks trust them to roll out quality releases. Of course, it could be their audience doesn't give a shit about quality and just wants the new new thing. Not really a single variable study here.
