All well and good, but every now and then we're abused by updates that remove features, or add something we didn't want.

0patch does have an advantage there I guess.

That’s where choosing a community driven operating system comes in. If the provider of the security patches abuses their position the answer is not to drop security. Rather switching providers is the solution.
