This mentality is how we get incidents like CrowdStrike. Relying on auto-updates for security is a crutch that allows insecure designs to spread.

Crowd strike was primarily an issue of running third party software in the kernel. If you're fine with this approach ad a company, you'll always be at the mercy of other people not screwing up in the lightest. Auto update issues are actually one of the nicer things you can run into over there.
