On average, updates make stuff better. Getting them automatically and quickly is, on average, a good thing.
Only when that becomes untrue for a sustained period of time should you turn off updates, but at that point, you're just sticking to a single pinned version until you're able to switch to a competitor.
Vendors who just keep pushing user-hostile shit should lose customers, not (just) updaters.

The convinence of having the computer click "install latest version" in a prompt for you is minimal. I think it should be the user's choice. This trend in slow rollouts to see what breaks and using users for beta testing is annoying.
