It is 100% forced. Don’t know about this specific game but number of Steam games must be updated to play them and fiddling with versions is hit and miss.
No, it applies to a number of single player games, the same games which don’t need any updates when purchased on GoG. It is Steam forced updates policy in play.
I’ve not come across a single player game where I wanted to pause updates and couldn’t. I guess you found them.
In any case, it isn’t a Steam policy, the developer must disable the ability to pause updates on their game as part of the manifest they upload to Steam. So, crappy developers.

It may be an “unpopular update” but it isn’t forced.
