> Wow, what can a Mac auto-update do that is worse than Windows blocking your screen for 10 minutes

Rename random internal user accounts without informing the user, breaking many third-party package managers with an overnight upgrade? https://determinate.systems/posts/nix-support-for-macos-sequ...

Oh, or it could depreciate an entire class of software you may-or-may-not use without any opportunity for replacement besides downgrading your Mac? https://support.apple.com/en-us/103076

macOS upgrades are indeed generally exceptionally disruptive to applications.
