That's why its best to find free software solutions for your computing needs where possible. The options a user has on free software solutions discourage that behaviour.

Free software has the same problem. I know people who have switched off Firefox updates because an update changed something in a way they didn't like.

In order to fix their issue with the new version, they worked out how to roll-back by one version and disable future updates.
