I mean, it’s never an issue for a power user, which arguably most Linux advocates are. But the disable option available for the average user is known to be overridden by MS. And the way that is not susceptible to MS remote meddling requires a Pro license, technical knowledge, installation of advanced system administration tools. All things that most people either don’t have, or are not allowed (restricted permissions in corporate equipment, etc.), or rightfully don’t care to invest time into doing. So this is still a common occurrence.
“Dumb users have their system updated to protect them from themselves” is what I’m getting out of your comment, and frankly I think that’s a good thing.

That’s Microsoft’s opinion of their users, yes.
