Or they could do what Google have done, and separate more OS components into applications delivered out of band via the app store, like the browser (Chrome), the keyboard (Gboard), etc.

Behavior changes of the os should not be quiet and magical, they should be intentional and the user should be notified (if they care).

Apple's goal is to have as many people as possible on the latest version of the OS. It makes support, etc. easier and therefore less expensive. In order to do that, people need to be enticed to update regularly. This comes in the form of updates to Maps, Safari, Emoji, etc.
