You are under no obligation to update. You can ignore the update, and hide the notification -- and the option to do so is a part of the update notification.
Your statement that it does not achieve any additional benefits for anyone is clearly wrong -- all I have to do is prove that one person benefits, and you have been proven wrong. And that person is me. (And many other people here on MobileRead, who may declare themselves if they wish.)
If you would like to say that it doesn't achieve anything
for you, you are welcome to say so, and you will of course be correct -- you are qualified to speak for yourself.

In which case, you may turn off the notification and everyone will be happy.
Many people do just this. They turn off the notification and if something ever doesn't work, they update and see if any of the many bugfixes fixed it.
Considering how often Kovid adds new features, it would be disastrous for the power users if he only released sporadic major updates.
