I'm not sure what this means. They released an update for a previous version intentionally to allow them to resolve security upgrades. That does not sound like hindering users. The UI is clear. The notification is clear. Catalina only will install if you specifically ask it to install. Notifications for Catalina are distinct from Software Upgrades (they are two different notifications). I do not understand people who assume the worst without even seeing it for themselves. Some people just want a bit of drama in their life.

The UI is not clear at all. I don't want to update Catalina for the time being and the "other updates" option is small and hardly noticeable and clearly being mostly hidden in order to get people to update to Catalina. I definitely missed the option the first couple times.

In my experience, I only get a rather generic notification for software updates. When I click on it, I wind up in System Preferences, Software Update. And that displays the Catalina update very prominently, then in a much smaller font, “Other updates are available” with a “More info” link. Only after I click the latter, do I learn about the security update for Mojave. After having been pestered about Catalina for quite some time, obviously my response is to close the window without looking further. If it weren't for the current discussion thread, I would still not know about this security update. This is why I called it hindering users. (Not sure how your final comment applies here.)
