They might have enabled it without understanding what could (and did) happen. Victim-blaming isn't the answer here -- that was a genuine clusterfuck that hosed a lot of working installations for no good reason.

You mean if you enable “automatic iOS updates” you don’t expect automatic iOS updates?

Or do you mean that when the user specifically enables “automatic iOS updates”, Apple shouldn’t automatic iOS updates?

If we don’t “blame the victim” for explicitly making a choice , who is at fault?

There was no reason to think you'd be effectively cut off from half your apps if you enabled automatic upgrades. Or that many of the apps you could still use would be forcibly "upgraded" to subscription models, as iTeleport tried to pull.
