Because the people who wrote that software are bad at their jobs.

No seriously.

They think you’re an idiot and need your hand forced.

Now don’t get me wrong: security updates are important, and they need to happen. But the way they do that is idiotic, and as a software developer, if anyone on my team suggested our software behave that way, they’d be summarily fired.
