Did we forget the hardway of booting a system? Just push and hold the
power button and anyone can boot it and the OS cannot control anything.
Even if it is an offline update, admin cannot stop from it being applied
on a reboot.

I see a green shield like thing (KDE and oxygen theme for desktop), I
will take a screenshot of it when updates appear again or I can
downgrade some package so that the update icon will popup to say that
there is an update available.
