It's a fair point that not many users would decline the update just because it doesn't fix a bug which affects them. It's not so much about decision making, it's about having some explanation as to why the update is important.
If it's a bugfix release, it's important. period. Bodhi has a combobox that specifies that. Whether the bug fix will affect a particular user or not if nearly impossible to determine.
If PackageKit pops up tells you there are 50 updates pending, it's much nicer if you can scan through the descriptions and come away with the conclusion that "oh, there's a bunch of important fixes in there" rather than "this is just a bunch of gratuitous updates, but if I don't apply them all I might miss something important".
The necessary vs unnecessary update is a completely different problem, although it's also addressed by the draft and that's causing an overreaction on the documentation side. I'm pretty sure everyone agrees that updates to stable releases should be picked carefully by packagers.
