Good to know about both of those. It's fairly ironic that it uses up a significant portion of disk space for a "safe" copy of the original OS that doesn't actually work..

I have actually done it, so I can guarantee that it has worked correctly at least once ;-)
Many others have had the same experience, as Google will show....
And then they push it again:

"Updates that have been hidden can appear again if a new version of the same update is released. That’s the case with KB 3035583; not only has it received an update (thus unhiding it), it’s status as an ‘Optional’ update has been changed to ‘Important’."
This announcement today seems like they'll do it again, even stronger, with revenge.
"Early next year, we expect to be re-categorizing Windows 10 as a “Recommended Update”. Depending upon your Windows Update settings, this may cause the upgrade process to automatically initiate on your device"
Windows 10 strikes back.

And if you really try downgrade, it doesn't work:
