Maybe you should document yourself before commenting and sharing such a
strongly worded opinion. Have a look at the unattended-upgrades package
and what it does.

Yes. I am seriously doubting that you ever applied any security update on
a server running Debian stable by yourself. That's the point of security
updates on stable releases, they fix only the security vulnerabilities but
do not introduce functional changes and have a limited risk of breakage.
