My take on this is back when software was distributed on media like CDs, new versions were better. Updates were discrete, marketed and expensive. They had to be good! Continuous updates continue to permeate, including into things that are still surprisingly connected to the internet in the first place. I think that in time, forced updates will cause enough trouble that people will become more conscious of and dislike them. For some, one bad update is all it will take. So, I think it's worth waiting to see if anti-update competitors appear before regulating this.
