Lord I wish we could go back to the days of pay a flat one time fee and own the dang software so I don't get "improvements" shoved down my throat

What you can't do is downgrade once you've found that you're not happy with upgrade. That's the most bizarre Apple thing. Unless you can jailbreak. Not sure if it works nowadays, back in days I was very happy to downgrade to iOS 6 with jailbreak on my iPhone 4S.

Ideally, there should be a system where security patches are installed, but anythingv what is optional and reversible
I like it in theory but supporting it can be unwieldy, especially for design-led orgs that like to tinker and introduce changes a lot (not dissing, just not my preference). Like how many versions and combinations do you support? I've worked in an app company once, and supporting web, iOS, and Android was somewhat annoying enough. Can't imagine adding in support for old versions.
OTOH it could force more deliberation and discipline on the part of product teams before going all-in on whatever shiny new object caught their eye this month
