Mainly because it isn't that convenient to run that all the time.  You are 
absolutely right, I could do sudo snap refresh each time I booted up, but my 
wife would feel somewhat less comfortable with doing that instead of simply 
clicking on the alert when Discover Update prompts her.

Also, I do think you *are* missing the point a bit.  Many users aren't 
developers or system administrators, so how do they know they have to do this?

I only found out by accident.
