And if that choice was left to the average user, we would have computers that didn't have security updates for years.

We already have them, they called Windows XP and 7.

Although this is an issue, but it's pretty safe to say that "it's their fault". Also Pop!_OS has the annoying for me pop-up once in a while that tells me that there are updates available. With this users probably will still update sometimes.
