It's based upon the fact that by default, that is unless you choose to
specifically disable automatic updates, Windows XP installed before
end-of-support would automatically update itself without requiring any
human intervention other than logging on, and agreeing to a reboot when
required, but now that end-of-support has passed, this will no longer
happen.

You will still get the 130 or so available updates the first time the
machine goes by the time you specified for automatic update, at least
it did a month ago. There are just no new updates without using the
POS hack.
