I wouldn't mind upgrading for bugs or features, it's the (in my opinion) gratuitous changes (just for change's sake). For example, on Mac OS-X, there a few apps I run maximized. Pre-El Capitan, it would make the window fill the entire desktop (or screen or place or whatever it's being called these days) while keeping the menu bar across the top and you could use Mission Control (El Capitan name---it was called something else previously---are you beginning to see the picture here?) to see all the windows.
Now? Maximizing the screen causes the window to cover the entire screen, hiding the menu bar, and giving that window its own desktop (or space, or screen or whatever it's called these days) and preventing Mission Control from showing that window (or other windows, depending on which desktop/place/screen you're on). That breaks a workflow I've developed over the past few years, just because some engineers at Apple thought this behavior is what we needed.
THAT'S what I'm ranting against. Arbitrary (to me) changes that break things (work flows, other programs, whatever).
As far as cars go, about the only controls that tend to move about the cabin are the gear shift (either right side of steering column, or just right of the driver), head light controls and wind shield wipers, but there's generally only a few places they'll migrate to. You will never find the break and gas pedals swapped though.

It gives me more space on my laptop screen, and lets me focus on what I'm writing, with less distraction. For example, as I write this comment, do I need to know that Google Drive has synced, and that Onedrive is still syncing, and that Bluetooth is on? Do I need this information every second I'm using my computer? No. It just distracts me from what I'm trying to do. As for the analogy with the car, that actually is a downside of my car — it doesn't improve over time the way OS X does. And I'm happy OS X is improving, as opposed to giving in to change-averse users.
