If they enable it, it could mean too many people not updating and them not getting enough info to be able to fix it.
Imagine eveyone who has an issue goes back to the previous version and Oculus can't reproduce the issue themselves, where will they find out what did the damage?
Then why not just have separate beta channel for coming updates so nobody gets huge problems afterall? So they fix everything before just rolling their bugs on us?
Because they wouldn't fix everything. Here's an example - I have had zero problems with link since I first got it working last year, just after it was first released in beta. Many other people have been posting here that they have issues with Link after updates.
Imagine all the people who try the beta get zero issues like me. Oculus release it as it seems to be fine, then gets 20 posts complaining it's bugged and why didn't they test it first?
It's happened umpteen times on other games that have pre-beta and experimental releases (such as 7 Days To Die - notorious for this very thing, and DCS World).
Edit: Also - you would end up with lots of people on different versions and having issues. What do you think they are going to do when something doesn't work right and they go to support or complain in the forum and Oculus - well within their rights - say "sorry, we only support the latest version"? Loadsa whining is what would happen. People are never satisfied. It's new tech, it's all "beta" in effect and we are the guinea pigs. Shit happens, just deal with it. People are just too impatient to wait for issues to be resolved and many just complain without even looking for ways to fix it themselves. Yes, it's frustrating, but they ain't gonna do it.
How do I know? Because people have been complaining about it since CV1, 4 years ago, that's why. So threads like this are entertainment value only.

I see the advantages to individuals in the short term to choose which version to use but yeah, I think on balance, the quickest route to resolving bugs and improving the software is streamlining the process as much as possible with users submitting logs that relate to a common build, it's then easier to pin down what's common between users with the same issue and replicate it.
Logs submitted from users with different software builds moves the goalposts for anyone tracking things down. There's a PTC and a 'stable' release, I think more than that would be helping the individual in the short-term but not in the long-term.
