Why should that matter to you if you're not going to be one of those people? We have almost 4 million people in the Insider program now, and that's beta level stuff with broken updates all the time.
Either you're being deliberately obtuse here, or you really don't understand what Heartbleed was... It was a bug in the SSL stack that had been around, literally for over a decade... that nobody had noticed until someone discovered it and started exploiting it. I really fail to understand how this applies to this scenario at all. I suggest you actually do a little research on these things before you start arguing about them.
Not true at all, Telemetry can tell them if the update was downloaded, and the update began installation, but never finished either because the machine was offline or because it failed and telemetry told them that. Lack of telemetry is also telemetry.
It was true, but... sometimes people freak out about the loss of something they don't use... they fear the fact they might need it, not that they do need it, like a security blanket.
Windows 8, much like Vista was more of a wake up call to everyone in the industry that the status quo is changing. It was never intended to be the destination, just one step along a path of many changes that would ultimately lead to a virtually unrecognizably different OS down the road.
But first, they have to burn the security blankets....
