From personal experience I can say that a _lot_ of people do not fully understand/like the "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" dance. They just want one command, and everything should be done for them. The standard yum update fulfills this need. Even on some of the Debian systems, some people seem to forget to run apt-get update, and then complain about apt-get install not working properly... Personally, I'm inclined to agree with you, but I've seen the opposite way too much to believe it should be implemented.
