Not really.

The solution is elsewhere: let me update my programs centrally without the program deciding. Like the App Store or the apt repository.

It’s fair if devs don’t accept reports unless the user runs the latest version.

If you care about security, like a company, you’re probably also doing that on a schedule, and more or less globally, not in the program itself anyways. If the security fix is critical, I’d argue the user does need to install it asap, and then letting them know does make sense.
