Comment (by JosVelasco):

 I'll add some of the comments discussed on the #core-upgrade-install Slack
 channel and social networks:

 I've found that not having a link to enable auto-updates on the same
 screen where the plugin is installed can lead to, for example, forgetting
 about it.

 There are some scenarios where this happens, like when there is more than
 one admin and not a maintenance plan.

 Finding more places where site admins can enable auto-updates is very
 reasonable.  The Install Plugins and WordPress Updates screens are good
 candidates.

 There is also the possibility to add the toggle to turn off the auto-
 updates in a notification after you install the plugin. There is an
 overhaul to the notification center and the WP Dashboard, but this can
 complement both.
