Updating is vital for the security of your device, and Apple has been repeatedly praised for getting literally hundred of millions of people to timely update their devices.

Sometimes, an update can be broken, and Apple better be fast at fixing it. It doesn't change a thing on the fact that Apple must continue forcing users to update as soon as possible their devices.

Most people don't connect unpatched devices as easy pickings for fraud and abuse.

I was at the mechanic the other day, and this loud-mouthed boor bragged about never doing updates. The kind of guy whom would surf for porn on iOS 6 Mobile Safari and wonder why his contacts complain about X-rated spam.

For users like that, Apple has to just force people to update without their permission some number of years out because they won't do so willingly. Maybe enterprise-provisioned should have a greater exclusion, but not much more.

Because PEBKAC.
