I do a yay (sudo pacman -Syu, under the hood) every two weeks or so and shit don’t break. Dunno what weird program dependencies y’all have for stuff to break so often.
In any case, if shit broke, I have snapshots of the last 5 days and last 5 upgrades. It’s automatic, not rocket science.
So many of these things just seem incredibly bizarre once you’re used to Linux.
Until you do a dist-upgrade and random shit breaks (:
At least that’s usually an honest mistake, instead of some managers trying to juice their numbers through dark patterns.
Unless, of course, you’re using Ubuntu. Then it might also be a manager trying to juice their numbers.

Dude, Arch is a rolling release, it has no dist-upgrade equivalent. You’re not even in the right conversation.
Debian, Ubuntu, … and plenty of other distros have. Just upgrading my server from Ubuntu 22 to 24 (both LTS) took an hour or two of fixing things.
