why does apex require firmware update to be done manually? Why can't fusion update itself and the firmware automatically

My best guess is because of the risk of something going wrong during a firmware update, it is better that it is not done as an automatic update. If they did an automatic firmware update and something failed the unit wouldn't be able to start itself back up and fix what went wrong.

In theory it should be doable.
1. There should is an option to enable/disable auto update/upgrade firmware
2. The new firmware is downloaded and verified then stored on the Apex internal storage before the actual fw update process is started => No need to worry about wireless connection stability. (I think this feature is there already, but Apex just want to simplify their lives so they ask us to do the fw change with a hard wire connection)
