You don't need a previous version installed to install a newer one.
So, they're still not 'updates'. They're not small changes to a large thing, they're drop-in replacements for the whole.
That's what makes 'rollback' difficult. You need to enumerate the differences between them yourself, decide which are important, which aren't, which are defaults that probably shouldn't be reinstalled overtop of the existing ones, etc, etc. It might be possible to simply uninstall it and reinstall the old. It might not. There might be dependencies and dependency changes involved in that, too.
