Yeah, that would be pretty annoying... to say the very least.
On the other hand, we'd still be able to play whatever version last comes out on PC. Regular updates and new content are of course very nice, but as a game minecraft is essentially "complete" as it is. However, it will most likely lose its near-cult status, which has probably arisen - among other things - due to new content being continuously added, meaning even veteran players have a reason to keep coming back to the game. Without this being available on PC, I doubt MC will remain nearly as popular as it is now.
