Easy: because that version works the way you want, and later versions do not. If you perceive that the update will permanently take away or restrict some feature that's important to you, then you see the update as the inferior software. There is always an urge to hang on tightly to what you've got when you're afraid of losing it.
My earlier post about the speedometer was trying to empathize with the feeling of loss that comes when a feature you use and rely on gets hamstrung. However, I'm optimistic that Tesla is still moving in a forward direction here, pushing the limits, and on balance, the new features have outweighed what was taken away. I still look forward to each update, and to the possibility that I'll again be delighted by what's yet to come.
I find that perception rarely equates to reality, more FUD from those refusing to accept progress. If you aren't ready to adopt the advances, then opt out or sell your Tesla, it obviously wasn't meant for you. So far the advances made have only improved the overall experience and safety of the vehicle's semi-autonomous features. To deny your car of the these updates only puts you and those around you more at risk. If you want to take full advantage of these bleeding edge features, you need to be willing to accept that things change, and sometimes not in the manner you expect, but you will learn that it is for the greater good that all cars are updated, to share and gather information from one another to one day allow us to realize the dream of truly autonomous driving, in two or three generations of development perhaps.
