Wait, what? The Mac App Store updates your apps automatically in background (I know bc sometimes it tells me it can’t update a particular app until I exit it)

that's the part I find annoying. Contrast to iOS which doesn't have this problem. Obviously the model on iOS is a lot different (more restrictive backgrounding, apps are build to handle shutdown at any time), but its still a minor frustration I have with MAS.
