I am sorry, I realize now that I misunderstood the current proposed
trigger behavior, I thought what Simon Riggs wrote here already
happens:

But the point still stands: firing INSERT triggers when the UPDATE
path is taken is counterintuitive. If we prevent changes of upsert
key columns in BEFORE triggers then we get the benefits, including
more straightforward trigger behavior and avoid problems with serial
columns.
