I find this extremely annoying.
They probably won't do it "just for fun" because there's a risk that something goes wrong with the update and they kill the car. I've had at least two updates, to my knowledge, because the car was in the shop for drivetrain issues. Can't tell if the latest update made any real difference. Electric range in Eco Pro seems to be a bit more accurate now, and there are pictures in some of the settings menues - like for the ambient light. Not worth it imho.
