It doesn't do that by itself. Go on. Do it.

Edit:

What’s the Google Play System?

The Google Play System (also called Google System Updates) is a way for Android devices to receive updates to core components without requiring a full OS update. This includes security patches, bug fixes, and new features for things like the Play Store and Google Play Services. It was introduced with Android 10 and works on most modern Android devices, including phones, tablets, and wearables.

For those getting their panties in a knot:

Not everyone has a de-Googled phone
Some people need Google Play services for essential apps.
MicroG and other alternatives don’t always work perfectly.
Privacy ROMs aren’t easily accessible for everyone.
Only a limited number of devices support them.

For the majority of Android users, Google Play System updates matter, and no, they don’t always install automatically.

Just stop.

"Based" on what? :) I used to think that it might mean "biased", based on the some of the usage that I have been encountering. I have finally come to the conclusion that slang is pretty much stupid. Bleah.

Ok? Not sure what I'm supposed to say to that.

Just let me complain, I guess. For what it's worth, I didn't downvote.
