Comment (by chesio):

 This can be quite easy implemented with
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/auto_update_type/
 auto_update_plugin] filter (I use something similar on my websites):

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 add_filter('auto_update_plugin', function ($update, $plugin) {
     if (!$update) {
         // Auto updates for this plugin are (already) disabled.
         return $update;
     }

     if (!$plugin->current_version || !$plugin->new_version) {
         // Sanity check: if current or new version number is not
 available, do not update.
         return false;
     }

     $current_version_parts = explode('.', $plugin->current_version);
     $new_version_parts = explode('.', $plugin->new_version);

     // Only update if major version does not change.
     return $current_version_parts [0] === $new_version_parts[0];
 }, 10, 2);
 }}}

 Anyway, I also think it's plugins' territory.
