Actually I am not doing anything of the sort. Microsoft has had decades to become better at getting their patches etc out and yet many times critical bugs go unfixed for months and months.

Regardless of that. This is about releasing OS updates to the general public who , for the most part, are not tech savvy, immediately they become available - all that leads to is bricked phones and zero feedback apart from yet another whiner posting a new thread here about how "My phone wasnt fixed whaa whaa".
Its got fudge all to do with red tape and everything to do with quality control and trying to limit potential damage.
