Per-app self-updaters are such a disgrace, it really makes me wish I could cheer this on. It's a shame that their elimination, for Mac users, might mean that the app store becomes the only or primary mechanism for automatic app updates on macOS.
The change doesn't affect self-updaters, only a app trying to update a different app from a different developer (which can still be done, but with some additional checks I don't remember).
