He or she can best meet their KPIs at the low, low cost of the occasional destroyed laptop, fire, or -- very rare -- customer death.
People just have to accept the risk of burning to death so that this person can meet their KPIs by forcefully updating laptops even if they're hibernating, in a laptop bag, and in the cargo hold of an airliner.
Those passengers knew what they were signing up for when they boarded that plane together with a Windows user.

Perhaps this story may awaken them."
