Except for the Mac OS, that's true. I do not use any Apple apps at all (all third party ones), but there are a number of third party apps where one is forced to use the App store for either initial download/installation, or updates. Sometimes, though, some of them have an alternate way to getting either the app or an update.

Then of course there are Security Updates to the Mac OS. It looks like the option of downloading them directly, and applying them when I desire, is going away.
