Not iOS, but on tvOS I am pretty sure that I had auto-updates turned off on two of my ATVs, and they updated to tvOS 13 anyways.
Got a tip for us?

The reason they’re breaking it down like this now is because they don’t have widespread adoption anymore due solely to their rushed, broken, and half-baked updates. They only have themselves to blame.
Every single day? I only get nagged about twice a month (still on 13.2).

Got any citations for that, or that just your personal belief?
Disingenuous post. On my Mac have the option to go back to OSX 10.2 if I choose, (I don't have any earlier copies of the install disc).
On my phone, Apple actively prevent me from downgrading. That's one of the biggest reasons later iOS is so prevalent.
Maybe the purpose is to inform people (mostly interested will be software developers), and not to show numbers that "appear good".

You should most definitely upgrade to iOS 13.2. I had to work around some "interesting" bugs in 13.0 and 13.1 that were gone in 13.2.
Good news but supporting 12 is still necessary, not only for the 23% of customers who didn't upgrade but for people holding on their 6 and 6+
My minimum target for some apps is still 9 by the way... hopefully I'll be able to move at least to iOS 10 this year and 12 next year.

Maybe, but that's isn't a reason to exclude capable devices.
Besides, if they wanted to inform the mostly interested people, they could give all the information. That way the interested people would have more accurate and complete data, and not data that was tailored for an unknown reason.
Not me. I"m happy to stay on iOS 12 as long as possible. No troubles. The iOS 13 bug filled rollout was the messiest I can remember for 20 years. At least updates didn't require users buying new CD-ROMs to update!
I use iOS daily on a recent regular IPad and it is painful. Just about every problem in the book. Android is far more stable. Most of the problems center on memory management and Safari. Excess battery consumption, apps terminating without warning, articles shown and then going blank. App updates that create sizing issues. The screen on the low end iPad is not sensitive enough for games and it really heats up when memory goes wonky.
iOS 13 is now installed on 77 percent of iPhones that were released in the last four years, according to updated adoption numbers that Apple shared today on its App Store support site for developers.
17 percent of iPhone owners with a device released in the last four years continue to run iOS 12, while 6 percent run an earlier version of iOS.
A total of 70 percent of all iOS devices run iOS 13, with this number taking into account older iPhones as well. 23 percent of total iPhones have iOS 12 installed, and 7 percent have an earlier version of iOS installed.
Apple is breaking down iOS 13 installation rates in a new way as of this latest update, providing details on both iOS and iPadOS.
According to the new numbers, 79 percent of all iPads introduced in the last four years are running iPadOS 13, 19 percent run iOS 12, and 2 percent use an earlier version of iOS.
When it comes to all iPads, including older models, 57 percent run iPadOS 13, 27 percent run iOS 12, and 16 percent run an earlier version of iOS, suggesting there are quite a lot of older iPads still in circulation, or people aren't updating iPads as often as iPhones.
Apple last shared updated iOS installation numbers in October, and at that time, 55 percent of all iOS devices from the last four years ran iOS 13, while 50 percent of all devices had the update. iOS 13 installation has grown quite a bit over the course of the last three months.
For comparison's sake, during early January 2019, iOS 12 was installed on 78 percent of all devices introduced in the last four years.

It would be real nice to have a cut down feature free version that was stable.
My favorite Safari bug is on the Kindle Amazon page to get around the dumb walled garden the purchase button jumps instead of being pushed. It almost seems like a feature.
My older iPad Pros are better due to the glass screen and more memory.
I enjoy Apple products but iOS is a mess. Maybe this is part of Apples effort to limit screen time?
Believe me (and I am not alone in this feeling) I would have never updated to iOS 13 if I knew both my iPhones SE were going to cause a sudden deterioration of my batteries' lives. (One was bought just last February 2019, and that bettery is performing just as poorly as my 2015 model.)
But iPhone SE users were not given the chance to use the 12.4.x upgrade. It was 13.0 or no more security updates.
And yes, I've done every trick in the book to try to get some resemblance of the battery life I had in iOS 12 (in other words, I didn't have any problems). Turning off this and that, and shutting off all connections, services, and notifications to the App Store and the iCloud, I would check my battery health/usage and that, lo and behold, the App Store was still using 66% of my battery .... for what?!
But by the end of the day, with minimal usage (1-2 phone calls, a few text messages, and that's about it), my batteries are left with a 20-30% charge.
And with each update (weekly, no less), there was always the promise from the Apple Store employees that, yes, I'd see a great improvement/stabilization.
I have yet to see that.
