I think one of the good things to come out of this may be an increased sense of conservatism around upgrading. Far too many people, including developers, seem to just accept upgrades as always-good instead of carefully considering the risks and benefits. Raising the bar for accepting changes can also reduce the churn that makes so much software unstable.

The 2017 WannaCry ransomware attack would be a good counter example, the virus spread even though it was already fixed in an update from MS a bit more than a month before.
