That works for an enterprise or business. When you are doing this stuff for fun and/or hobby, being halted during the upgrade is a MUCH better UX than deleting all my data or whatever undefined thing might happen.

Of course, I'm not advocating for such adversarial behaviors like the upgrade process deleting your files.

But you have a point, and maybe a solution to this issue ought to be found.
