We gave them an inch out of fear ("You'd better update constantly and immediately in case our shitty software has a bug that's made you vulnerable!") and today they've basically decided they can do whatever the fuck they want on our devices while also openly admitting to tracking our IPs and when/how often we use their software along with exactly what we're using it for, the hardware we're using, and countless other metrics.
Honestly, we weren't paranoid enough.
Waiting for the user to click "Check for updates..." is effectively pushing this responsibility onto the users, the vast majority of whom lack the information and expertise needed to make an informed choice about the risk.
