Are you speaking about Netdata or in general? Because if the former, then at least the updates part is not true: the installation script turns out nightly updates (and telemetry).

Frankly, the reason there is no basic auth is that Netdata doesn't use a third-party web server but a built-in one, so they would have to add this functionality.
