        the package managers for linux that i know of are great because you can easily control everything they do

          I agree. My point stands, though. You, a Linux user, believes it is bad that windows plans to handle updates the same way Linux does. That is very weird to me.

            windows update is known to force updates down your throat, even when it is just not appropriate right now. that’s not how things work on linux.

            windows plans to handle updates the same way Linux does

            Windows will have snaps and flatpacks and user repo packages that all update separately using separate update utilities, which are themselves separate from the package manager for the general OS?

      Would you though? Many people say the same thing but here we are. Windows is still dominant in spite of all its failings.
