Windows doesn't reboot when things are running.

Microsoft wouldn't have to force reboots if there weren't people like lunarul who keep their computer running perpetually.

From your link:

but the option to choose a new time was greyed out

Which only ever happened for me if I had already pushed back an update multiple times. Which then means they had all the time in the world to make sure they do the update before they start such a critical, multiple days long process. These are people without forced update they would never make updates and they are the reason forced updates have to happen now.
