Why users disable the WordPress update?

by

Users install plugins which disable update reminders.

Plugins:

  • disable WordPress Core Updates
  • disable WordPress Plugin Updates
  • disable WordPress Theme Updates

Look at the counter of plugins downloads.

I know that some users change the WordPress core files or plugin or theme files, but there is WordPress hooks and child themes.

If user will disable the updates:

  • user will not see new features of newer WP versions or plugins or themes;
  • user will use software without bug fixes and probably with security issues

So why users disable the WordPress update? Is there any other reasons disabling updates except of modifying the files?

I know that when i disable the WordPress updates its mainly to allow me to first test the updates and then go and update in my clients sites instead of them just clicking links around and usually messing things up.
