If it wasn’t every week, it certainly felt like it - perhaps it was every other week. But it’s not dishonest to claim that Windows updates took up far more time than macOS updates. If I update my Mac twice a year, but Windows has to update bi-weekly (or monthly, as the person responded to me claimed is the only possible way), that is still several hours more time dedicated to Windows updates overall.
Additionally I can go far longer without updating my Mac - I’m not sure if there was a setting for this on Windows, but their updates seemed more-or-less forced.

It’s interesting you believe someone to have had a negative experience with Windows to be a dishonest experience.
Sure it is.. this whole "i'm an apple user and you are a windows user" is tribalism.
Try spending some time on any discussion boards and read the blatant misinformation floating around.

I stopped using windows personally around the Windows NT days, mostly because the negative experiences so i absolutely can believe the negative experiences.
Anyhow..
MacOS isn't updated as infrequently as you state:

And as someone who hasn't used windows in literally MONTHS.. you can postpone their updates...
This whole "tribalism" nonsense over companies is just insane. If you like windows, great. If you like MacOS, great.
I don't get why people feel a personal attachment to things like which OS they use. What really confuses me is when they become unpaid advocates for their company of choice?
Personally, I've never been a big fan of Microsoft and used Ubuntu/Mint for many years. Recently i moved to MacOS.
None of this has caused me to develop some sort of personal attachment with what OS I use. I'm not going to spend my time doing as the OP did - write a dishonest review to flog my OS of choice.
PS. I do have a windows laptop which i haven't used in months. I used it last week and it did take a while to upgrade as there were many missing updates. I also upgraded my pc from Monterey to Ventura. Both took around the same time so i really dont get the OP's point?
