Good security feature but only for the phone in your pocket. The old one used as a camera, homeassistant screen, sms to email forwarder, ssh server, will stop being useful.
That’s why GrapheneOS had this feature for a long time, but with the ability to disable it. It also allows you to set the time period after which the reboot is initiated yourself. You can go as low as 10 minutes, or as high as 72 hours.

On the 9to5Google article it says
Website: Skynet is dooming the world tomorrow!
Website: Update: You can just tell it not to doom the world if you don’t want it. Nothing more to see here. Move on.
Typical.
The old one isn’t getting any updates and won’t see this change.
The shiny one you have will be old in a few years
You dont install updates on your servers?
