Ask HN: Why have OS updates become so aggressive?

After the controversy surround the aggressiveness of Windows 10 updates, I was a little relieved to be a mac user.

However, this morning I was confronted with a notification to Update macOS to Sierra, the two options are "Install" and "Details". In addition an app icon has been added to the launch pad to install Sierra.

Is this the new norm? Why such a strong push requiring users to update?
