Why doesn't Automatic Updates install some critical patches?

This is driving me nuts. I've got my computer configured to download and
install updates every morning at 3 am. However, I've noticed that some
critical updates are simply ignored by AU (e.g. the GDI+ update, the
malicious software removal update, and the .NET security patch, among
others), which require me to go in afterwards and manually install them. Why
oh WHY is this happening????
