 I'm not sure where this leaves us. Why was one system app updated automatically and the other one wasn't? Perhaps the Play Store update was a security one and that overrode a "do not update automatically" setting.
 

   Google Play Store a system app? Why? Because it's Google?
I keep it disabled, along with any other Google crap that I
can disable. System updates will nag every time I start up
the phone. I have to be careful not to let them run. Awhile back
I accidentally let one run. I paid for it by now being pestered
with endless popups: "You should enable this!" "You should
enable that!"
    I think it's sort of like Windows system DLLs vs Microsoft
Office or Copilot. The first is in a system update. The
second is only MS programs that they're trying to push.
Same with Google. They've thoroughly infested Android,
but Android is not a Google app and Google apps are not
Android.
