Although I get your point, Windows has more powerfull configuration options than you might think as a user. E.g.Windows defender can be permanently disabled through administrative templates for your computer.
Well, for awhile. Software updates come along and re-enable these features all too frequently.
Not to mention, this feels a bit like how we used to have to manage Linux on the desktop: don't like X? Here's a configuration file you can edit. At least until another update comes along and breaks it.
It's been years since I've enjoyed chasing down new settings and finding what was reset every few days.

The big deal is that, it's probably a pretty important security update. Forcing a patch prevents you from turning into the poster a few steps above, complaining that Windows is insecure and people lost data because of it.

Restarting the computer without ability to abort doesn't sound like a good data retention plan.
