> Firmware updates are good. They [[can]] patch security issues and they can improve different aspects of the device.

Emphasis mine - updates also remove features and introduce security issues. It's not cut-and-dry "updates are good"

I am pretty sure my Samsung fridge update removed 3 of the limited ~12 or so apps it had in the first place.

If im not waiting for a big fix i avoid upgrades when possible for the reasons you mentioned above, thers nothing more annoying than an upgrade that downgrades features that were working just fine.

Im also doing some research before upgrading. Never the first to upgrade, i hate autoupdating software
