I guess it is replacing files and programs that couldn't be while Windows was running.
Those updates (With the annoying icon) are there to make you bend and 'finally' install Windows 10. Nothing more. Hopefully.
I frankly don't trust Microsoft on anything anymore and find their OS to be as safe as a t-shirt in a battlefield.
You're safe so long as you don't get shot. But those bullets sure aren't going to be stopped by anything.

You're the only one who has touched on the primary question, to my mind. Some software is crucial to the operation of the operating system and can't be modified while the OS is running. The Windows 10 nagging may or may not have been part of that explicit process.
