I've noticed this too. Combine the constant patching with auto-updates and my whole system starts to feel like it's made of sand, constantly shifting under my feet. It almost feels disrespectful.

There's just a total failure to prioritize the needs of the user. Needless to say I keep auto-updates off. What a world we've made where updating your software has become something to be avoided.
