I have crappy wi-fi in my bedroom, but I'd still prefer that apps update themselves while I'm asleep. The 5 am thing is actually perfect for me. I get to use LTE when browsing around at night, but it still downloads app updates over (slow) Wi-Fi in the early morning. By the time I'm awake around 8 am, it's all updated. If you don't want to auto-join your wi-fi network you can change that in Settings for your network.

That just makes joining a network cumbersome since I’d have to choose which network to join every time. Replacing one pain with another doesn’t sound great. As I said above, I have my shortcuts to deal with this annoyance. Another solution to this, suggested by many when iOS 11 came with this design, is a three way toggle. But Apple plays to its tune, and rarely listens to users (or even to power users and popular people who write about it).
