I am not sure what the solution is

I am. The solution is to turn off the TV. Close the social media tabs and apps. Stop living the upgrade rat-race. There's no way out that way. The updates will never stop on their own. Each one will be more dire than the last.

Apple didn't start this war. Apple isn't the one that created a division of its company to hack its major competitors. But Apple is using this new user behaviour to push new updates and sell new devices. It's like the motivational poster that reads, "The beatings will continue until morale improves". As long as users keep demanding more and more updates, daily restarts, critical security patches for non-existent threats, Apple will keep giving users what they demand.

The only way out is the red button at the top-right corner of the window. Go to your news feeds and click the red button. Got to your social media apps. Click the red button. That's the only way out.
