Is there a reason why Windows Catalog Apps and the Auto Updates are only available for required apps? They would be far more useful for us, if we could use it with available apps too.

Today the Enterprise App Catalog ties automatic updates to the Required assignment because Intune owns the full install-and-update lifecycle for those apps. With Available (user-initiated) installs there's no guaranteed baseline version to update from. It's a reasonable ask though, and is on our backlog. The best way to get it prioritized is to log/upvote it at https://aka.ms/IntuneFeedback .
