Why is Xcode not automatically updating when I check "Automatically keep my Mac up to date" in System Preferences->Software Update and "Install app updates from the App Store" in Advanced?
Mac Pro, macOS 12.3
Xcode is actually larger than the operating system itself. Installations using the Mac App Store are notoriously prone to failure. Even if it works, it would be a 13 GB download, a 30-minute to 4-hour? install.
In other words, count your blessings, and start using direct downloads form the developer site instead.
