Automatic updates are not bad. Quite the opposite, it’s the lack of automatic patching that is dangerous.

Win10/11’s problem isn’t auto updates, it’s the severely reduced user agency in the matter (and the quality of said updates, but that’s another story).

Auto updates are bad for a user's sense of control over their machine. Auto updates are generally good for security.
