I think compromises could be made in this case - like giving users a reasonable amount of time to apply the patches before the update is performed forcibly. I have seen important meetings stalled because the presenter was only given two hours to reboot his computer after Windows updates were applied, for instance. Same for big Windows feature updates occuring in the middle of the day and stopping work for an hour. But with say twelve hours or so then the user could reboot in the evening or during lunch break without affecting productivity.
