There is a difference between security packages and bug fixes and upgrades.
Security patches are important in our highly-networked world.
When an "upgrade" affects functionality, that is unacceptable.
The typical Windows 10 upgrade is twice the size of the typical Linux
distribution.
Android at least does this mostly-right. A major upgrade requires
permission, security patches don't. This isn't always true of
applications.

forcing unrequested and often unauthorized updates, as is Samsung / Android or
whoever makes those systems. Updates are installed at the producer's election,
and as often as not in my experience with all three systems they disable or
scramble the functions of some application I had been relying on.
