The same was for Delphi, but no one complained in such way. Your sources were to update accordingly, or you simply remained on previous version, which was not a bad thing, because it is your app, it was working yesterday, why would it break tomorrow?

For new projects you took new libraries.

Personally, I don't like the modern idea of autoupdated anything. Once program is tested and deployed, only cherry-picked (or backported) security updates must be applied.
