Apple iphone 16.2 update

The new 16.2 update is saying it needs to remove all my apps BEFORE INSTALL. Is this right??

iPhone X, iOS 15

If you have insufficient space to install the update, it will offer to offload apps, install the update, then re-install the apps.

My phone normally just automatically updates but last night it didn't so I clicked it to update and it was not updating like normal. It asked me (thankfully) if I agreed to removing all my apps first and I said NO! I still have the circled 1 on my tab to update my phone but don't understand why it won't update like normal??
