The few error reports that would be provided by these users would be copy and pastes of error text that the author should already be aware of if he's eating his own dogfood.
Well you can play the game without addons. Sloth and ineptitude should be criminal offences, no wait would bring me to prison as well, but at least they do not work in this argument. If you do not like the standard interface, do your homework and read. Lack of understanding? What is so difficult in using favorites on this page? Even if the updater is discontinued it works fine (and as you have stated before, the people do not read, they would not even see that it is outdated).
If they could not update their addons due to a lack of understanding, how did they install WoW?

Maybe some of the authors wrote the addons for themself and not for other endusers. Thought about that?
