If you’ve been around, you might’ve noticed that our relationships with programs have changed.
Older programs were all about what you need: you can do this, that, whatever you want, just let me know. You were in control, you were giving orders, and programs obeyed.
But recently (a decade, more or less), this relationship has subtly changed. Newer programs (which are called apps now, yes, I know) started to want things from you.
Idk man, Linux seems not like this at all. But windows and the rest of corpo-software-hell, yeah.
Newer programs (…) started to want things from you.
Do you remember “Blade Runner”? People wanted to know from robots what they are: human or robot.
Today robots are demanding this from people.
The one area I would sorta disagree is on updates, although only inasmuch as they’re needed for security fixes on things connected to the internet. But if it’s not connected? No, no updates needed unless I encounter a bug or they add a new feature I really want.

Fine, but maybe the update fix a bug that hit other users and that still not have hit you, be it for sheer luck or any other reason.
