There are all sorts of reasonable options here: - prompt to install updates when shutting down/rebooting - prompt when locking the screen - prompt when updates are available The point is, ask to install updates. Users will update if you remind them when it's convenient for them, but you don't know when that might be, so have some kind of non-intrusive prompt at any point where a user might be ready to do an update. Maybe make it more annoying if there's a critical security patch pending, but don't ever force it. So yeah, Microsoft didn't listen, they just did the bare minimum to make it look like they're doing something.
