If you read it properly instead of skimming and then rushing to
gleefully spread the news, you'd see that it only applies to those who
installed 24H2 from media (DVD or USB) that has had Windows updates
slipstreamed into it.

Actually it's "that has had *the wrong* Windows updates slipstreamed

How should that be possible? Don’t Microsoft’s own updaters check for
applicability before allowing themselves to be installed?
 

Yes.

But even in Linux, if you go around randomly
deleting or installing stuff, if you go outside
the scope or bounds of the automated update system,
yon can break stuff.

For example, if I do this, this is kind of outside the
scope and bounds of any package manager. If you're following
the rules properly, you're not doing any construct
at all like this.
