This seems clear to me what FP plan :
Cheapskates! To install a manual update from file, as far as I’m aware you need to unlock the bootloader. Sure you can leave it unlocked for the following update to prevent further data loss, but that leaves your personal data vulnerable. Should you lose your phone with your bootloader unlocked, your data is accessible. In reality if your phone is stolen, the theives would more likely do a wipe and sell it on but that vulnerability needs to be considdered if the owner holds confidential data. Probably a worse option for some people than not having the update to start with.
The question of the PIN interval was just out of interest on my part. Like you I enter my PIN multiple times a day on A11. Putting the phone into my pocket is sometimes enough to trigger 3 incorrect fingerprint inputs and a fingerprint lockout.
The other question I asked regarding whether apps are put to sleep if you haven’t entered your PIN within a day also doesn’t matter to me, but the answer matters to others here. Are we a community -or- are we selfish individuals who ignore issues that don’t effect us personally? If you fail to use your PIN within a day, the question remains as to whether your apps are put to sleep or not. For example : Will you get a Wotsap notification of a new message? I assume you will still receive a notification, but I’d like to know for sure.
