Auto-updaters are the most practical and efficient way of pushing updates in today's world. As pointed out by others, the alternative would be to go through app store's update mechanism, if the app is distributed via app store in the first place, and many people avoid Microsoft store/MacOS app store whenever possible. And no developer likes that process.
