I will add, in my experience optional updates are rare and mandatory updates are common.
Purely anecdotal:

Today, on a whim, I decided it was time to download the books on a moribund Amazon account, a task that’s been hanging for literally years. I installed Kindle for PC 2.3xxx and it took me a couple of stabs to get my ducks in a row, but mission accomplished. In the interim, Amazon asked me if I wanted to upgrade to 2.5. No. But I suppose it’ll happen, willy-nilly. So of course now I’m wondering if it’s worth skimming the cream of my Amazon account while I can….
