Comment (by Otto42):

 By default, people don't run development releases, so those upgrades don't
 happen.

 Most of the wording of that page comes from nacin's post on the topic
 here:

 http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/10/25/the-definitive-guide-to-
 disabling-auto-updates-in-wordpress-3-7/

 Note that the codex is a wiki, and if you think it could be worded better,
 then by all means go ahead and make the necessary changes. But since
 normal people don't run development releases, then I don't think it needs
 a whole lot of changes in that respect. Development upgrades are somewhat
 outside of the scope of the target audience for that article.
