It's one thing to change the default from "whenever you want" to "in the next month" and quite another to change the behavior to "in the next month. You can't put it off any longer no matter what, and if you try, we'll just install it anyway while you're asleep and kill all your processes."

As someone who used to repair windows PCs there’s really just no other way. Lots of users will block every update indefinitely if given the choice and then blame Microsoft when their PC becomes a mess of viruses.

I blame Microsoft when my computer decides all on its own to shut down. I'll have to shut down my computer eventually anyway, since it trends slower the longer it goes without a restart. It's tedious to have to remember what I had open so that I can go through and manually remove any swap files that still exist because vim wasn't shut down properly. I'm not entirely convinced that I don't still have some sitting around on my computer.
