What is the point to setting Automatic Updates to "Download and Install"?

All that does is gobble up my bandwidth. Microsoft Update is faster and
checks for more than just Critical Updates. Yet, Microsoft Update is
complaining that I am not protected. Never mind that it downloads oh so
slow.

Besides, I insist that any update that installs new code tell me what is
going on. Data only I will allow to download and install automatically
-- but not code.
