Comment (by flixos90):

 Thanks @SergeyBiryukov, great pointer!

 I like the proposal on that ticket, I would actually propose that they
 should coexist though, and #48393 should use what's proposed here: I think
 implementing a single-purpose function to update the autoload value
 provides most flexibility, and then `update_option()` could use that
 function internally if the value of the option matches but the autoload
 value does not.

 The function here would still offer support for additional use-cases, for
 example: A plugin could implement logic in their deactivation hook that
 sets all its options to `autoload=no`, and then logic in the activation
 hook to reconfigure the autoload value to be as intended.

 WDYT?
