The update manager has an "Update" tab allowing you to automatically update projects with new releases.

It also specifically disallows updating Drupal core, since it can't update on that scale.
However, the update manager has no code to ignore install profiles, even though it can't handle them either.

We need to open a core issue for this, and add a custom alter that removes Kickstart from the list.

indeed.
probably the best solution it will be a Drupal core rework for Updates for Distributions/profiles.
and/or Maybe using some Update info in the .info files.

this also could be done with Kickstart, i can see 2 ways:
1. within hook_update_projects_alter():
make the kickstart project of 'core' type. not so accurate: Distribution like core and Drupal core update message for distribution update.

2. with form alter for the update page:
Cut the Commerce Kickstart from updates options,
Add a markup message for the Update form which tell us about "Updating Drupal".

imho we can start with the 2. and open a core issue about this if it's not already there.
