They are upgrading one version of the package for the next version up, 
even if it is just a -1 to -2. Update is fitting for updating the 
package cache. If you are using apt-get upgrade you will never upgrade 
to the next version of Ubuntu anyway, there is a different command for 
that (dist(ribution)-upgrade), however it is not suggested over 
do-release-upgrade.

In either case, it is grasping at straws and arguing semantics. You may 
prefer update because that is what some other OS calls it (apt was 
introduced in '98, the same year some Other OS came with an Other OS 
Update tool), I have no problem identifying that a new version of a 
package as an upgrade or update.

This is quite apparent if you perform even a cursory look at the man 
pages for the programs you are running. It is worth learning the jargon, 
it hasn't really changed that much.
