When Apple announced macOS Big Sur with a redesigned interface and new features, there was also information that the system should be able to install software updates faster and friendlier, because it should do so in the background. And as you can probably guess, even after a year since the launch of the system, even with the new version of Monterey, we still haven't seen it. 

At the same time, this is a very useful function, and it should be noted that iOS and iPadOS users would certainly appreciate it. The moment you update to a new operating system, all you have from the device is an unusable paperweight. So it's nothing special, because we're used to it to some extent, but if Apple already spoiled us, why didn't it fulfill its promises?

The problem is that the updates are long. Sure, you can do them automatically, e.g. overnight, but many users don't want that, because if there's a problem, they can't start using the device in the morning and have to deal with it. Of course, this is not the whole process of installing a new system, but only certain parts. Even if the novelty was already present, the device would still be non-functional for a certain period of time, but this period should be significantly shorter, and not such that you spend an hour looking at the gradually filling slider.

The problem is that Apple hasn't really made this known since Big Sur. So, as you can guess, the new meaning of the update probably got blocked for some unknown reason. Original information it was included directly on the Apple website, but with the arrival of Monterey it is of course overwritten.
