@bot The option to disable updates seems to really make you think you have a choice, rather than actually giving you a choice as far as I can tell.

After all, they force macOS malware developers to drop support for later versions at set time periods, as newer versions of xcode (unless the name is different now) seems to refuse to compile software on certain older OS versions and developers are effectively forced into "upgrading" xcode and OS versions at set periods, as if they don't, their malware can't be compiled for the latest OS versions.

As a result, if a user wants to install 3rd party software updates, eventually an OS update is required first.
