Bug fixes and security updates for a .X update? This should have been 15.5.1, then.

I used to like Mac OS updates. Now. it feels more like a chore fest. You have to update, your Mac,your phone, your TV and even your watch. Do all these devices require the same amount of updates and at the same time ?

I just let everything auto update. Within a week or so, it's all done.
