Does this come as a surprise?
Keeping 11+ software packages manually up to date isn't something that people like to do. (especially if all of them require a reboot )

It just costs people to much time to perform all these updates. It's nice to have a very large eco system of software vendors, but if there's one thing Microsoft could learn from the average linux distribution it's how they manage software in their repositories.
