So I could be waiting on a specific bug fix – which I am – and it could be ready and available but I won't get it by checking for updates until maybe a few months from now? I've been wondering why people keep getting told to check the website for updates when the application should be able to do that.

This is a user-unfriendly way to stagger rollouts. You could do that by having clients update on a distributed schedule, say by geography, not by simply withholding updates entirely until their owners go seeking them. A reasonable person sees the "check for updates automatically" option and assumes there is no need to do so manually, or by checking a website.
