Why? Everything I saw on the subject point to the other way.

I saw another of your message explaining issues about it, but I never
saw anything like that anywhere else. Your issue is probably with your
computer, maybe a particular device which makes it behave wrongly, but
I'm not convinced about it in a general way.

You are comparing two different things. Windows updates update only
Windows and nothing else: you have to manually handle everything else.
When a Linux update handle everything except for things you manually
installed (either because they're not managed by your distro or because
you want a more recent version). For example, if you want to use
FireFox, a Windows update wont take care of it when a Linux update will.
