Anecdata: I have never had to re-install windows in the last decade on my personal machine (neither have I had to reinstall Linux or OSX). My current W10 machine at work is at a 140 day uptime because I netured the update and can't be bothered to update. My W7 Laptop hasn't been re-installed since I purchased it in 2012 !!

I gotta say, that's impressive.

That's business as usual actually. I don't know wth you are doing with your machines but Windows is crazy stable. Much more than my mac at work. And linux... like... nevermind...

Well I guess that's business as usual on Windows if you turn off software updates. I don't think anybody should do that.
