I am a Linux user and I love automatic updates, personally? I don’t run anything particularly important but I’ve been using Linux for serverboxes and low end laptops for over a decade, and more recently switch full-time to desktop Linux and as of yet I have never had an update break any of my systems. I use a long-term service release, so there tends to be a lot of testing, and often packages being rolled out piecemeal to make sure there aren’t issues with them.

But of course, no one is taking away control of my system from me with Linux automatic updates.

EDIT: Also, since Macs are all the exact same hardware, automatic updates on macOS are a lot less dicey since all hardware configs are exactly the same.
