Sure, but again the specifics are a distraction. The problem with pushing any release onto users who have no ability to opt out is that those users never have any guarantee that vendors tested things, or that the vendor is even hoping to help rather than hurt users.
it’s pretty safe to assume that most companies spend money trying to make money, which usually involves exfiltrating my data, turning off things I need but they don’t want to support, general rent seeking, ads injection.
Trusting any small manufacturer of anything to spend time/money on fixing problems with security or quality control is a hilariously naive idea these days, when crowdstrike and Boeing are showing that even big companies don’t care. We all know the security update is enhanced spyware, planned obsolescence / a slow push to force me to buy a new device, or something else that’s going to make things worse.
