I guess that, exactly yes, they should ask! The problem people have is that there is no way to turn them off, not that they exist. This is nothing to do with change and everything to do with taking control away from the user. For some users, yes, that may be beneficial. But without at the very least giving the option you're also alienating many more. I want to update my system when it's convenient for me to do so (particularly because I'm currently in a location with very poor internet), not when I'm in the middle of important work, at the whim of my operating system. Edit: Apparently you can set a preferred schedule for the updates (from another comment)? That's still one more thing I need to think about, that I shouldn't have to. Just make it optional and everyone is happy.
