I’ve been around for a while and this is the first time I’m seeing something like this. I’m wondering if I picked up something nasty or if this is something that other people are seeing.

I'm not sure why you think this is being forced. It is just a toggle that you control.
Sounds like this user was surprised by it. Stuff like this shouldn't be "opt out" any more than marketing, behavior tracking, or information sharing.
Except every action to do this requires user prompting. They clicked update and then were prompted to reboot. None of this is forced what so ever.
