Though I am not a lay person and a "power user", I can relate to the second example - I was very furious when Firefox enabled update and installation by default and Apple forced ios updates on its users. And while me may mock this kind of outrage, there is some truth today that Google, Apple, Microsoft etc. are all taking control away from us and "stalking" us online and offline, and have been doing so for a while now.
To be fair, they are damned if they do and dammed if they don’t. Don’t include auto updates, you’re in the news and people are upset that they have been hacked or catching viruses.
For the average user, auto updates are a blessing.
Nearly every system I’ve used does still give you control by allowing you to opt out.

You can livepatch your OS without auto-deploying the next major version of iOS. That's what, I dunno, security focused OSes do when a critical vulnerability is discovered.
I didn’t think they did major version auto updates while security patches are offered for the current version. I could be wrong.
In the beginning ios didn't - they even connected to the wifi automatically, to download the huge updates. I think Windows also has announced forced updates. That extent of forced updates is just abusive.
On the other hand, there are some absolute gems on the other end of the spectrum, such as ticket #1024971 on pages 26 and 27 entitled "High FEC Uncorrectable Errors on Upstream Caused by Very High SNR on Upstream Node"
My favorite was the one talking about their "constitutional right to privacy" before dropping their full address in the FCC complaint.
Context?
Oh my Lord some of these complaints and reports... I hope they are getting mental health help or something. Wow
There are absolute gems in here. This is the general population folks! Would more education help? I don't know.
