I don't think we should do that. This would slow down many commands.
Also we cannot cover all uses cases (e.g., selecting a tree, C-w, C-y
elsewhere) so we cannot guarantee that cookies are always up-to-date, so
you ultimately need to intervene manually.
Org provides automatic updating for obvious actions, as explained in the
manual. Doing more would be much work for little benefit.

We could try to improve speed when updating cookies in a whole buffer.
A detailed profiler report in your situation could help.
Also, we could add more hooks, if needed, so as to call
`org-update-statistics-cookies' more often.
