Sure - but the need is to update before leaving home when you're going to travel by train, not to update every day to get the latest bug fixes and improvements.
Worse, the "go through an update before I can check on which platform my train departs in 3 minutes" problem is just as much caused by "update immediately" as by "delay updates until I need the app" - if you update and leave home, a new update is made available while you're en-route, and then when you get to the train station, you can't access the app because you need to spend the next 15 minutes downloading an update via a congested network, you're going to be unhappy.
