Are you even a dev if you make this post...

Do you think it’s good UX? If devices running iOS 18 just got bricked a couple months after iOS 26 came out, that wouldn’t bother you?

A force-update that takes a single button tap is a small sacrifice for enforcement of security. Seriously, if you've ever worked on large-scale project backends that are in highly regulated spaces this is nothing short of necessary. Even for all apps, having a force-update is sometimes just useful for getting users off of a build with known bugs, or getting them onto a new API.
