That's what I put in the docstring, but it was a slight misnomer

Since the docstring to package-get-update-all says it does exactly
that it should be fixed doesn't.
I don't really care which is called but I think you should be
able
to update all your installed packages from the menubar (probably the
most common thing you would want to do over time)

Custom probably is a bad way although I think the effect is correct
(packages added / removed from the menubar). Although by that argument you
could argue that custom is bad period - custom is after all the standard
way of configuring emacs.
Yes. But one big part of custom is that it allows a way for saving
configurations and you do not need that here.
The main advantage of using custom that remains is that this allows
you use customize-browse and friends for a different text interface
than pui-install-packages. However they offer "save" and "reset"
options that make no sense whatsoever here, the same for the state
buttons etc.
Moreover as far as I can see turning a package off using the customize
interface does abosolutely nothing.
