Before anything else, let me point out that the whole "don't go swimming withing 30 minutes of eating" thing is false - it's a widely believed fallacy. There's no greater risk of cramping, etc.

Meanwhile, you're assuming that the people you're referring to aren't also complaining about what the One does regarding updates. The only updates that should be required are ones that are essential to online functioning of the relevant software, and in that case, it should only be required for online use. In that situation, it has to do with consistency of experience during interactions.

Making the updates automatic can be beneficial. To some people. If the updates are certain to be completely functional. And their work doesn't require full-speed internet access on demand. And their internet access quota is generous. It's also assuming that no updates will be forced to happen immediately (and indications above seem to be that sufficiently important updates may actually force a reboot within a set time, without the serious option to delay the reboot) - if the updates can force a reboot, it could result in loss of data, data corruption, and loss of significant code-running time, to name a few possibilities.

In short, what is "sensible" for you isn't necessarily "sensible" for others. It's important for you to understand that just because something is beneficial for you, doesn't mean it's beneficial for everybody. And that's exactly why having the option to disable automatic updating is so important. Nobody is suggesting removing automatic updating entirely, because many people will find it useful and sensible.

Well, if I ate at the beach as much as the typical Neapolitan family, I'd prefer to be guilty of excess of prudence! 



Some recent studies show that's just the excess of alcohol before bathing that can increase the risk of collapse or even heart attack in case of harder than usual effort, but the torpor due to a laborious digestion can be quite dangerous if the sea is rough and all the energies of the swimmer are required. Technically, though, in this case the danger isn't directly caused by some illness cause by eating before bathing, but this doesn't change the possible outcome.
Technically, neither eating and drinking too much before driving directly kills you, it's the drowsiness and attention and reflexes drop that do it.

Good. Only my windows laptop, I had delayed updates since last October because every time it wants me to update, I am like... nope...

For people like me, this will be for the better.

I guess if you're worried about autoupdates, just break the Windows update database on the PC, that's easy enough to do - and easy enough to fix when you actually want the updates lol
