Because updating Arch is about 100x faster than updating a Mac to a new version. The loading bar looks nearly complete and then "About 17 minutes remaining."

I’m not sure Arch Linux is the best thing to compare it to. It might update quickly but it might not boot up next time, either.

That's a popular myth, but nothing more. I've been running a single Arch install for close to 4 years now, no problem.
