Well, generally I would agree, however on my desktop I can't recall the last time I got any malware (probably never since I bought it). So for me the choice is:
1. low risk of catching random malware (which so far is zero)
2. 100% chance of getting microsoft nagware
So yes, actually I consciously disabled windows update, because of the two, "get windows 10" is more annoying.
This is on my gaming PC though, so in the worst case I'll simply restore it from image and re-download games from Steam. So as I said, generally I do agree ;)
