I'm glad I've never taken him very seriously, because he seems exhausting.
Guy who's apparently never worked on hardware or drivers has thoughts. Ok.
Like for me the Mac will sometimes randomly turn on from sleep like in the middle of the night. For updates or things like that.
When you have wireless mouse but probably any kind of mouse, just a slight move of it will wake the laptop from sleep.
When you have the fingerprint sensor equiped power button, the thing constantly mix up going to sleep because you push it but also waking up immediately because it sensed your finger print on top of the button. ...
that's because you don't own your operating system, it's Apples software and they'll do whatever they please with your harware

I'm sorry this happened to you. I only ever saw this on Windows. In fact (I probably shouldn't say this) but it lets me defer updates far longer than on Windows. I think the longest I have gone is a year+? They are the least intrusive updates ever.

This does not happen on Windows or Linux? I have definitely seen it on Windows.

I think this is more on you as that feature is a blast to use for login purposes. On newer macs, the machine starts when you open the lid so maybe its been resolved on newer macs?
Fingerprint issue has been super annoying though. Only happens when waking, where it wakes and then turns it off immediately again.
My macs have thankfully never once randomly turned on or done an unexpected update; you normally tell it “update later tonight.”
If it's for updates it's not random. Modern M series macs also don't really sleep anymore, they just enter a very low power state.
TouchID issue is valid though.
It's very much another Windows issue.
Like I mentioned, he is in a pickle.
