You call that "normal" out of ignorance... tied to your cult-like group.

Here are the Mint update instructions:

<https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2>
-----
A "Fresh" upgrade consists of the following steps:

1. Making a backup of the data
2. Making a backup of the software selection
3. Performing a fresh installation using the liveDVD of the new release
4. Restoring the data
5. Restoring the software selection

This is the recommended way to upgrade Linux Mint and it offers the 
following advantages:

1. Safe: Your data is backed up externally. Whatever mistake you make or 
whatever bug happens during the installation cannot affect it.
2. Fast: The installation usually lasts 15 minutes. The DVD for the new 
release contains compressed data. Downloading the ISO and upgrading from 
the DVD is much faster than upgrading the system from the repositories.
3. Reliable: First, you get the opportunity to test your hardware 
detection in the new release using the liveDVD. If anything is wrong you 
can simply decide not to upgrade, it's not too late. Second, you end up 
with a fresh installation of Linux Mint, i.e. a system that was fully 
tested by the development team and the community.
4. Easy: Things do go as planned this way.
-----

That is directly from the Mint site. This is not some other site 
claiming it, nor me claiming one should do this with Mint... this is the 
MINT SITE making this claim.

So, do you want to keep pushing your fantasy that Mint is so much better 
than the competition here?
