Let's take that to it's obvious conclusion. The user is running a kernel update. The user wants to run minecraft. The system cannot run a kernel update and run minecraft. The system actively prevents them from starting other apps while doing a kernel update! Therefore the user is ruled by their Operating System! How dare Linux Torvalds!
You should think about what users want, not just what YOU want. Most users want security and convenience. They therefore WANT auto-updates and they are entirely OKAY with making the tradeoff that entails. YOU may not like it, but you don't get to stop things from working a certain way because you disagree with the average user.
TL;DR: Your own argument defeats itself. Computers are a tool, and users are choosing the best tool for the job. End of story.
