Users should not put up with this kind of thing, no matter what
OS. Forced updates, online startup checks...all unacceptable in

Imagine no car or train in the region starting because of a

feature.

Linux? At least then it's your fault when it breaks.
It doesn't have this particular failure mode, at least.
Both Linux and Windows perform similar checks.
