Forced updates are bad if they bork you system, sure. If you know what you are doing it’s also mostly fine to skip a few. But the truth of the matter is that 95% of users wouldn’t ever update their system if they didn’t have to. Then half of them infect their system with ransomware and the other half get to join a huge botnet.
We’ve had that before and I wouldn’t want to go back. A few bored systems because of updates are probably preferable to at least as many lost to malware, where data is often unrecoverable.
Updates are one thing, forced updates and an occasional restart while you’re actually using the system is a totally different thing.
Of course Linux has regular updates, but it’s not gonna force you to restart, you just restart when you’re good and ready.
