Network-connected application developers have as a community, desensitized me to this. They are the Boy Who Cried Wolf. Continuous mandatory updates in the name of security. Guilting you into thinking each update is critical due to "security".
I don't care. It's a hassle, and I don't believe the threats they warn of are something to warrant my attention in the landscape of things I should worry about in my life. Anecdotes don't help. To overload with another analogy: Security is a "think of the children" or "full stop": it's a thought-terminating cliche, and I don't believe people who use it.
While that would be nice (and a lot of mandatory updates are just slop), this is essentially a classic anti-vax argument applied to digital diseases. When everyone patches quickly, attackers put less effort into exploitation. Just as you can skip the measles vaccine and never get measles, you can run Windows XP and telnet (on a local network) and not get hacked. The issue is that it's getting easier to exploit vulns.
