It's a simple example but that's the kind of tradeoffs platforms are trying to make. Small bugs in favor of security and compatibility. It could be a thousand image orientation bugs. Same arguments still apply.

And yes, you can't cordon off security updates from everything else. They accidentally break other things. But this is a general problem of software development.

If you're using a third-party's software, aren't you already consenting to their "control"? How much control do you have over someone else's software?

No using third party software doesn't mean you are consenting to their control. Why would you believe that?

For open source you can read the source and decide to install or change. You can limit permissions by assigning to different user groups. You can disallow firewall access. You can choose to use selinux and have additional restrictions.

Automatically updating anything introduces risk.
