Comment (by DJPaul):

 I'm not convinced the comparison to iOS holds up here; Chrome autoupdates
 just fine.

 The main ticket for language packs seem to be #WP18200, and there's some
 discussion if you read through the comments. I remember talking with
 people about this (and auto-updates in WordPress in general) around
 WordCamps for a couple of years.

 > In addition, automatic updates would wreak a certain sort of havoc with
 people who keep their codebases under version control
 And those people would turn it off.  I see this as an example of the
 build-for-80%-of-the-users thing (I'm willing to best most WP sites aren't
 kept in version control).
