Synapse 4 -- No control of updates?

Glad to see Razer is finally spending some time fixing the software, i have had tons of complains when it comes to Synapse 3 being slow, resource heavy and most likely very insecure but it had one key feature that is missing in Synapse 4.

I like to disable auto updates from third party suppliers like Razer because i find it hard to trust the security of such companies. Its very easy for an attacker to do something like a supply chain attack on a razer server and essentially compromise all of its customers attached to their update channels.

The problem is with Synapse 4 i have no ability to disable auto update. So now my computer is at the mercy of Razer not being compromised by an attacker and having it automatically send infected software to my computer.

Why can't i disable automatic updates?
