I reckon most people wouldn't know about media creation or upgrade assistant and rely on windows update for delivery of major updates. I know most of my family wouldn't have a clue about this or that a creators update even exists. It's just windows 10 to them.
Which is for the best, as Microsoft have said before...
Windows 10 Creators Update rollout: First phase update...we continue to recommend (unless you’re an advanced user who is prepared to work through some issues) that you wait until the Windows 10 Creators Update is automatically offered to you.
And I am one who is waiting for CU to be offered to me. I have been offered, and accepted the update on 4 other computers. No problems. But I have one computer that is waiting for the update and has not received it yet. So, I guess it is going to become like Windows XP soon. No updates, no offers, no anything. Thank you, Microsoft, for your screw-up.
This is good news. I will likely grap the ISO prior to that date and do a clean install like last time.
I am frustrated , I am going to wait some more but it's taking far too long to be rolled out. That's why I hope one can go from anniversary to fall creators in one swoop when and if windows update gets round to offering it
It's going to be supported and patched by Microsoft until March 2018.

At that date they might force an update, or maybe not. Perhaps this upcoming update they should push out all at once and break everyones machine so that people don't have to worry about being left behind.
This new version of Windows every 6 months is beyond stupid anyways, no reason why they couldn't roll out feature updates through patches instead of forcing upgrades.
Scotty. Honest question. Is there something you believe will go wrong if you simply do it yourself? Upgrade to Creators 15063? There's nothing I know of, other than a hardware restriction, that would prevent you from doing so. If you are not being offered 15063 for some reason, that same reason may cause Fall Creators to not be offered. The tool is right here: Download Windows 10
I don't believe hardware could be an issue from a compatibility point of view stopping it being offered. The pc is skylake cpu, SSD, nvidia 980 ti. It's a custom built pc from U.K. company pc specialist so not branded. Maybe that's why it's going to be one of the last ones. But the honest answer is I think windows update should be doing its job and pushing it. I think the drip fed rollout is taking far too long. I think people should expect windows update to do the work for them. Admittedly I do have a bee in my bonnet about it. If MS could only be clear on the roll out. Is it finished? If it's not come by now, will it ever? I will probably buckle eventually if it doesn't come on windows update though. But am determined to wait some more. I think roll out is still happening though as some people on another thread got creators offered today so it seems still ongoing.
i do agree with oilernut quite a bit. Why can't features add through cumulative updates. These feature updates every six months seem over the top. I thought Apple were bad enough releasing a new iOS every year.
