Not automatic updating by default is pain in the ass. There were reports about destroyed installations under certain circumstances, about uncompressed transfer over the network, about dysfunctional achievements, slow responses. I'm not sure they all still exists, but at least last time I tried to use it as a downloader it was more difficult than using the website directly.
So, currently it is not much of advantage.
