Normal users don’t know how to resolve issues. Raymond Chen has a blogpost about how MS used to do that in windows updates (the “a newer version of this DLL is installed”) and the result is broken system. In response MS started simply overwriting anything potentially incompatible because if your system boots you can install updates, but if the system doesn’t boot you can’t fix it.
macOS takes the same approach - there are specific and safe ways to do most of the things you can do you can do in bsd/unix bunch, that survive updates.
