Overblown? Tell that to people that were hit with production outages. The whole idea of automatic updates for software running critical workloads is so stupid that I lost all respect for Canonical as a vendor.

Why though? Isn't that a proven concept and beloved aspect of Microsoft Windows™? /s

The problem with auto updates for daemons and services is that the maintainer cannot possibly account for all the different ways their software is used to be able to guarantee that the new version doesn’t break some critical service. It’s akin to a team outsourcing their CI/CD pipeline to some 3rd party who have no idea they exist!
