>You act as if people should prioritize downloading security updates over actually being able to reliably use their computer. That's because they quite obviously should. An unsecured machine quickly becomes part of a botnet for spamming or DDoS attacks and is, in legal terms, a nuisance; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuisance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuisance. Neither the infrastructure nor law has quite caught up to penalize individuals for this yet but I wouldn't be surprised to it happen within the next few decades as legislators finally catch up with technology.
