I, and everyone else I know, do not install updates to our software in a timely manner unless we actively need a feature. Users are "I, and everyone else I know". Generally is "unless we need a feature". Poor is "do not install updates to our software". Managing software is "install updates". Software is any software we use that provides updates, which is all of it. Managing software is hard because doing it manually would require checking the website of every piece of software you've ever downloaded at regular intervals, where regular could be as frequently as minutes for security-critical tools. If I ever downgrade my software and lock it to a specific version, I am now managing it manually, and all of the above applies. I honestly don't think there are unquestioned assumptions here, because the task of keeping security-critical software up to date manually is nearly impossible for any user.
