Comment:

 Hey @shadowlmd. https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/33966#comment:5 is
 pertinent and explains what's going on here, particularly:

 > In short, WordPress requires FTP access in all cases except when the
 following conditions are met:
 >
 > * The files are writable
 > * The files are owned by the current process owner
 > * New files creates are owned by the current process owner
 >
 > Group writable is not enough, due to #3 above, that's the crucial part,
 WordPress needs to be able to create files which it believes are going to
 be accessible by the account owner via FTP.

 You'll have to set up your hosting environment so that WordPress files and
 new files created by the web server are owned by the same user if you
 would like to use non-FTP upgrades.

 As this is expected behaviour I'm closing this ticket out.
