That would mean that every calibre install downloads every available update regardless of whether the update is going to be installed or not. That would be a huge waste of bandwidth, to the tune of 80TB *every* week.

If instead I had the get update button pop up a dialog that downloaded the update and then launched it, it would save the user two clicks a week. So that would mean I would have to maintain a couple of thousand lines of code to save people *at most* two clicks a *week*. Absolutely not worth it.
