Because blindly or automatically updating doesn't fit every use-case.
The features of being on the bleeding edge mean that responsibility has to be exercised, as otherwise you're going to break something.
All software involves tradeoffs. And I say that as someone who doesn't really care for Arch personally.

doesn't bother me
