> * Apple should be fined to impose such a huge internet traffic for... nothing: each iOS or here macOS minor update weighs hundreds of megabytes, sometimes even gigabytes*

Most YouTube videos and Netflix movies I watch use more bandwidth than Apple‘s updates. Do you want to fine them too?

The major difference is that YouTube and Netflix movies are things you request for.

I request security. I deliberately choose devices and platforms that receive prompt, frequent security updates. Nearly every iOS and macOS update seems to be filled with security patches.

Should users be able to choose whether to accept changes and new features? Probably. Should they be able to opt out of security updates? Not on internet-connected devices.
