All the computer has to do is say "Hey, there are updates, would you like to install right now?"

If you don't install the updates and leave your computer vulnerable, that's your own problem.

And if you don't spend any time customizing your computer, then having it install updates automatically is also your own problem.

It's that simple.

No, the simple fact is that there is an argument for automatic updates and there is an argument against them.
