Comment (by Clorith):

 We can't expect users to rename their files to do an update, that's a bad
 experience for the average user just looking to update their theme or
 plugin like they were told to do.

 Your concern for reverting a plugin if an update is bad is legitimate
 though, we could possibly replicate the new code editor behavior of making
 a call to the site and checking if it fails, at least you won't end up
 with a white screened site then?
