I should note that this technique for retrieving and installing plugin updates only works on macOS. Under Windows, the CORE function to move the old plugin to the trash fails, as does the generic "remove" command. At first I thought it's the permissions of the enclosing folder (448) but it seems in Windows (and only Windows) Illustrator keeps the file open until it quits. Looks like it's back to the drawing board since the new plugin can't replace the old one until Illustrator quits. :-(
