That's similar to a sentiment in the discussion at Paizo, but there's a difference.
When it comes to the book, people playing PFS will be told what changes they MUST make.
When it comes to home games, people can choose not to accept the changes.
BUT, there is only ONE version of the ability in HeroLab. HeroLab is like automatically getting errata applied (which doesn't happen to the physical book). When LWD updates that ONE version, the change is applied to all characters using that updated "thing".
I view it as part of the trade-off of the digital tools... the tools need to reflect the "official" version of the rules. When possible, it is a bonus feature when they can accommodate house-rules, but not every house-rule is going to be easy to implement. So if the program provides tools for customization, that's the route fits most naturally.
Most of the time, with electronic tools, "getting all updates automatically" is seen as a feature.
