Unsure why the plaintext command is needed though.

Thanks.

You need to learn how hactool works:
When you use --plaintext=file.nca during extraction of base game, that file.nca is created(in addition to unpacking of base game, which for update itself is not needed). You don't point to an existing file with that command! File created with --plaintext command is such that it is possible to create new updated game with it.

Then, when you use --basenca command during unpacking of update, now you actually point to an existing file.nca you just created with --plaintext. That is how whole new extracted and updated game is generated and not just update. You cannot extract update alone!

Hope that makes it clear.
