I don't know if Marx ever said something like "Updaters are a tool of last resort" IME the ratio of "Oh the update fixed something" to "Oh it broke something that worked fine before" is about 1 to 3

You're thinking about it wrong.
"The update CHANGED something."  Whether that change moved the product
into a more useful configuration is always subject to interpretation.
[Personally, I eschew updates.  I'd much prefer living with a set
of problems that I know -- and can likely workaround -- than starting
over with each new update (as there is no guarantee that ANYTHING
is "unchanged").  The notable exception is FOSS products where *I*
can examine the diff(1)s and convince myself of their consequences!]
