Actually, -u doesn't mean update, means filter packages that are not

It's a filter option, not an action. Portage doesn't work with actions.
I can see that this view is logically consistent, however,
--update (-u)
Updates packages to the best version available, which may not
always be the highest version number due to masking for testing
and development. Package atoms specified on the command line are
greedy, meaning that unspecific atoms may match multiple ver‐
sions of slotted packages.
