I'm sure a lot of it is also Microsoft doing things like not giving its users a choice in whether or not they upgrade, or reboot.

Sure but then users would postpone updates forever then blame microsoft when they get pwned by some vunerability that has already been fixed for three months.

Seems like either way, microsoft just can't catch a break.

Seems to work well enough on macOS though (where you could do exactly that)

MacOS ist not a big enough target thought due to its small market share so the risk of not updating is small. Apples to oranges.
