The thing to be fair about there is that you can install Windows 2012 R2 in a VM in about 15 minutes, but if you want to apply all updates, you could be sitting there for hours.

I built and updated two servers on spinning rust last week and it took six separate reboot cycles and nine total hours.

It probably isn't about "forgetting", as much as considering that there was indication patches were relevant and you wanted to start this research today.

Edit: It's easy to call people "amateurs" in hindsight, and not necessarily fair.

But the update rollups do make it easier these days.
