Once you deal with taking care of computers for normies, all the BS Microsoft does to force down updates on users makes instantly sense.

Automatic updates? No brainer, otherwise they will never install them.
A limit on how far you can delay installing updates? Again, they will never get installed if you can just say "ask me later" all the time.
Removal of Shutdown/Reboot without installing updates? They will never be applied even when they are scheduled to install.
@phnt I work in IT, and over the years there have been times where upgrading Windows broke some software or system and the economic cost was in the hundreds of thousands, not to speak of MS breaking something, refusing to fix it, and providing installing an older windows release full of vulnerabilities as a solution.

And in my experience the worst at not deploying patches or updates are generally developers.
