Ah, so we agree here

Fine. Show us the link where  *all* MS apps are included with "windows 
update"

It is true. And please show us where only MS apps (and only a select 
subset of those) are eligible for "universal patching"
Since about everyone has apps from different vendors installed (on a 
typical windows install), they would benefit greatly from a "centralised 
patching mechanism". Yet that does not exist at all. It exists only for a 
subset of MS apps

You have shown nothing so far to substantiate your claim

Riiiight?
