Can anyone explain to me the logic behind unattended security updates *not* being on by default in Ubuntu? Why is the default insecure?

I have managed server farms and you do not want auto update on thousands of machines, it would be very unpredictable and bad
-
and I know, at that level you should be managing those settings explicitly regardless, but still, it is that level of scale thinking..

...that is influencing the decisions around these defaults. I'm speaking as a 20+ year sysadmin and longtime Ubuntu user, not theory.

Fair enough, I don’t manage server farms, just our apps so, for me, it’s a lifesaver :) (Not theory either, just a different use case.)

Exactly, and they have entered a local optimum for an uncommon use case regarding that default
