When it comes to a set of packages (let's say from a source package that results in 5 binary packages, and that source package lives in a separate repo), zypper up -r $repo is much easier than typing or pasting 5 package names.
That is entirely different use case than what is being discussed in this topic. This discussion is about updating Tumbleweed, not installing something from third-party repository. Which was always rather grey area in Tumbleweed.
You were right, until Mr. Brown entered this thread with message-id 7a2bb0ef4a53bef851abf87e0d9842d8@suse.de and decreed that everyone using "up" for anyhting is "very wrong".

But there are use cases beyond that. -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman
