Let's not "Cry wolf". To put it bluntly, they simply can't, because of all the heavy, tremendous repercussions without forgetting about Windows 10 S. If we take a look at the latter, one can say without the slightest doubt that the intention is there. And, as you put it, if they do, lots of users will probably consider making the switch to Linux..

I have 6 desktops. On three of them (BIOS) the update installed with minor glitches.
On the rest three desktops (1 BIOS, 2 UEFI) the update renders them unbootable.
It seems that the update messes up with the os drive letter (check via console with bcdedit)
The hard part it that bootrec /scanos can't identify any windows installation on the disc
Also, attempting startup repairs fails to fix the problem
It's just insane. I have pretty much given up. This is probably one of the worst Windows 10 upgrades yet, which is saying something. It's just too over-built, and nobody understands it. The simplest issues seem to be immune to fixes. This after delay upon delay. It's seems like it's gotten away from them...
I always liked Windows and dont have any bad feelings toward Microsoft. In fact, I like MS. But I dont use the Store or Universal apps. All I do with them is uninstall the ones that come with an uninstaller and ignore the rest. Till now I have been able to use my W10 pretty much identically to how I used XP and W7. As long as MS keeps Windows balanced (users being able to use what they want) and I can continue to use Windows the way I use it, I ll be happy but if they push apps and only apps, that would also push me away from Windows.

There are ways to uninstall most of the Universal apps There are actually tutorials here for that purpose using PowerShell scripting, or the easier way with applications such as CCLeaner

Tried installing this CU in other laptop and guess what, I got good ol' black screen with spinning circle again. I thought it only happened to laptops with integrated graphics, but I'm a bit less worried as you stated your desktops became unbootable as well. Microsoft devs are very, very amateur to release an update in this state.
I managed to fix it. Let Windows idle for a while and the screen will be filled with an update message in the non-active hours. If you click Update Now on that message it should restart the PC and the restart pending message should go away in Windows Update. Restarting the PC the traditional way didn't work and this was the only way I fixed it. I hope it can help some of you seeing this strange behavior.
I also managed to fix the problem.
Updated to Newest Nvidia Driver , used Msconfig to Stop Iobit advanced system care service, and changed my active hours so I appeared non active at the time. It installed correctly then, and left me with a Red message, Your organization manages some settings, I clicked update and it disappeared. Final reboot and reenabled IOBit Service... All fine now. Before was black screen with the spinning circling dots that never changed.
