have a failure rate of 1/10000, and you have millions of users, you

filesystem exploded or that their GUI application crashed while it was
updated in the background, losing all their work. Offline updates has
reduced this failure rate by about 3 orders of magnitude.
Active GUI applications crashing during updates of dependencies
is a _real_ problem indeed, only made worse by users dumping ABRT crash
data into bugzilla without even mentioning the yum/dnf update they've done
when the app crashed.
