A denial of service doesn't improve security. All you do is get users to mash whatever knobs they can find until it starts working again regardless of the implications, or disable updates so they can keep using the old version that works instead of the new version that doesn't.

You need to fix the things that are broken instead of breaking the things that are working.

How does prioritizing security equate to "denial of service"? A securely designed system can be user friendly.
