Are you sure about that? That most definitely did not happen to me on any of the currently three systems I’ve updated. It certainly shouldn’t happen. One annoying thing about the ‘Updates Available’ message which appears in the top corner of the screen is the bottom button is ‘turn on automatic updates’ and it’s very easy to hit that by mistake and not realize for ages. That destructive button should be confined to the App Store update tab, marked in red with a large exclamation mark against it saying, ‘here be dragons’.
This is another reason, I think, not to use the App Store for Xcode. If you can get the App Store to forget you ever installed it and install it manually, you will ever-after have full control of your tools install.
