This is an awful user experience. IOS asks to make these kind of updates while plugged into power at night. If I understand correctly, most of the users will be left with their alarms disabled in the middle of the night. I couldn’t understand how does Apple miss a critical point like this when their update functionality is focused on user’s sleeping hours.

I don't think this is the case – the article mentions that this is explicitly related to the "bedtime" feature, rather than the more general "alarms" feature.

I use this feature as well, updated to iOS 14 last night without changing anything or updating my settings, and the alarm still went off this morning – so it at least seems like it's a more complex failure that it might first seem.

Thanks for elaborating. It seems like the impact would be much more less than what I expected.
