Is it possible, as a licensee of the Rivian vehicle system, to disable the automatic OTA updates without having expert-level knowledge or tooling?

Also, yes, I'm specifically avoiding using the word "owner" above for obvious reasons.

Rivian "licensee" here. So far all updates have required you to press a button (in the car or on the app) to launch the update installer. Not sure how many weeks you can ignore it for as I never tried.

Confirming that updates are not automatic, and can be ignored indefinitely. For now.
