Why is Apple trying to install Stateful Firewall on my 2019 MacBookPro?

Why is Apple trying to install Stateful Firewall on my 2019 MacBook Pro. It’s taking forever and preventing other apps being updated- is the extra protection worth the wait or should I try to shut the Stateful Firewall Installation down?
