I depends on what we're updating. ATM I suppose I generally trust a core OS feature's devs to be trustworthy. On the other hand I don't trust random app that was trustworthy to stay trustworthy. Maybe they decided to add an analytics library or maybe it's a game and the decided to add an anti-cheat kit, both of which are essentially root kits spying on me. Maybe one of the libraries they use decided it would be good to do something similar so the app devs are trustworthy but the library devs are not. I find it strange that we trust as much as we do on our computers. Would you let 1000 people walk through your house unsupervised and unannounced? Would you expect everything to be ok after? Yet so many apps are created either directly or more likely indirectly via its dependencies by 1000s of people. Each one of those people has to be trusted. That's insane IMO. And as we get more and more connected the incentives to do evil rise. From say 1993 to 2010 I mostly didn't care that Windows wasn't sandboxed. Now every app I download is trying to spy on everything I do either for marketing directly or for analytics which is then shared with "business partners" who then share it with others. I wouldn't have to worry as much a random library is going to do something bad if it wasn't possible for it to do something bad https://www.google.com/search?q=malicious+libraries https://www.google.com/search?q=malicious+libraries
