> Well, what I'm seeing are an awful lot of customers saying they don't want MS's Windows 10 feature updates, or they want them less frequently.

This is similarity bias affecting your judgment.

I believe the way windows 10 currently runs update is wrong for me, and for most tech users, by far. I'm glad it takes 10 second to fix it to allow delayed updates again, but still I would like it to come out of the box easier to manage.

On the other hand, for the very very vast majority of windows users, this is superior to the end result they experienced before (updates never installed, and not by choice).

What's wrong here is a clear case of "one size fits all", they apply the same system they made for the majority to everyone, and it end up not work for some users for a variety of reason, but it's (imho) wrong of you to think this is not exactly what most users want: "do it like my phone/tablet, I don't care about updates"

Just to be clear, I'm not saying a majority of customers dislike MS's feature updates, just that there are a lot who do.

The amount of people asking for something like LTSC is large enough that Microsoft really, really ought to make that version more widely available. IMO, Microsoft's refusal to do so says a lot about their values as a company.

I would imagine that the vast majority either don't like it or are indifferent to it because it's just something Windows does.
