And don't point to hospitals not keeping their shit up to date as some sort of case for this, hospitals are a shitty conglomeration of some random corporation buying a building and not knowing anything about a business, cheap ass management that has run a business but doesn't know shit about nursing, pharmacy, patient needs, or technology, and the medical staff. IT is never factored in except for a last ditch "ah fuck" moment where some contractor comes in and fixes the printer.

I mean, for the most part, Microsoft has done a really good job rolling out security patches. So why are Windows machines notoriously vulnerable?

It's because users put off updating indefinitely. Taking that away was the best thing Microsoft could have done to increase the security of their systems. You don't like it because it inconveniences you, not because it's a bad feature. And it wouldn't inconvenience you if you didn't just keep clicking "install at a later date" and then selecting the latest option, rather then actually scheduling a time that works for you.
