When there is a recall on your car do you drive it to the factory? Do 
they come and pick it up and take it to the factory?

Or is it -your- responsibility to take it to an authorized dealer to 
have the recall performed? Nobody makes you service your car. Nobody 
makes you update Windows. In both scenarios you have problems because 
of failure of the end user of a product to take personal responsibility 
for the upkeep of a product they have purchased.
