On: Ask HN: Why aren't devs making desktop apps any more?

Button change for KPI is a Company problem not a Technical problem. That BS happens on all the platforms

Sure, but it has a technical solution if you're using a desktop application — just keep using the old version.

i think most folks allow auto-updates because we want new features and security fixes. So, while you're technically correct i think the practical result is that it's no different on this axis than a webapp.
