Comment:

 I think you're expecting too much from `--update` was intended to be an
 option for updating recently developed changes and don't do anything
 fancier. Please check the discussion in
 [https://github.com/django/django/pull/15669 PR].

 > My opinion is that it shouldn't as it violates the principle of least
 astonishment even though the --name argument wasn't supplied.

 We could document this behavior, but IMO it shouldn't be changed.

 > It'd be nice to provide --no-optimize option to --update, here's my use-
 case: 3-step non-null field addition. After doing nullable step 1,
 elidable data migration step 2, I want to merge the step 3 non-null update
 into the migration but --update optimizes this into a single step.

 It's probably worth adding 🤔
