> Note that after a hotplug event, the user DOES get a prompt about an update. However, it is an opt-OUT prompt, meaning the update will install in 30 seconds unless "abort" is clicked.

I agree that calling it "0-click" is not a lie, but I also think it's a little bit dishonest.

High probability the target interprets prompt as routine automatic update notification and does nothing.

It's not clear what would actually happen, but it also seems plausible that the hotplug event gets triggered by merely (un)plugging a USB-C charger while folio is closed.

I had this literally happen with a popular app from the Google Playstore. They sent an in-app notification and looked 100% like a routine update.
