Yeah, I get that, but I think there could be a middleground. They could ship all their apps as a bundle, and their raw base OS separately.

So what do you do when - previous bundle exists, you upgrade raw OS, but the previous bundle is not compatible - you try to install new bundle, but did not install new raw OS

I am sure this can be managed, but someone else may say they do not want to do it.

I guess the OS installer could have a checkbox "upgrade Apple Apps bundle" and if you uncheck it but have the previous version installed, it could have a disabled, pre-selected checkbox saying "Uninstall Apple Apps bundle (previous version incompatible)"
