It is a lot. My laptop applies security patches itself at night, and then I wake up and use it. It’s great, I get time back in my life for other more important priorities. I have spent enough time managing Linux environments on desktops, servers, laptops, embedded devices etc. Spending more time on that maintenance, even if it is small 90% of the cases, is a complete waste of my time on this earth.

You can disagree and find this enjoyable, no one is saying you need to see things their way. We all have different hobbies and priorities. It is fine if other people do not want to use Linux as a daily driver.
