Comment:

 Hi @JosVelasco, thanks for opening this ticket.

 Adding `2nd-opinion` to gather more inpit on this.

 My two cents: A lot of site owners/maintenance companies are ''very''
 selective about which plugins are enabled for auto-updates. For some
 plugins, these are always tested on a staging site. Others, if developed
 by the host or others, may have auto-updates enabled.

 As we have no control over what might be served to a user's site via an
 automatic plugin update, I'd be very hesitant about making it opt-out, or
 assuming the desired auto-update status.
