Wtf is this crap? How is it MY problem when other OSes do a much better job with the update process? You talk about 15 minutes or leaving updates running overnight as if that's decent. I can do a Linux update within 2 minutes and get my system back up by minute 3. That's the kind of performance I am expecting and I don't even need a super fast NVMe drive to do it.
The fact that you're okay with putting up with Window's comparatively slow update speed and then have to make excuses for it by saying that the USER needs to constantly baby it or waste power by leaving it overnight is honestly hilarious. To be quite frank, you just don't know how updates could be better because you're just used to what Windows has always offered you.
Don't put the blame on users for a problem that Microsoft can definitely solve but never does.
