The biggest difference with updates isn’t even being forced vs “when I say so,” even though it does matter.
The biggest difference for me is the whole “be good at the thing you were made to do” aspect of Linux and FOSS. I never have any hesitation to update my computer, because updates are fast and unobtrusive. At work I will run an update check in a terminal in the middle of a Teams meeting while I also have code building in the background using 100% CPU. No issues.

I tend to download separately and then close everything right before install.
The install takes 2-5 minutes and I can reboot and resume my work.
Windows 7 was the last Windows in which I could do something similar. And even there, the install + reboots were going to be 30+ minutes.
