“Optional non-security preview releases are part of regular device maintenance.”

Uh no.

Man are they pushing this stuff to ensure we are beta testers aren’t they?

They may be part of Microsoft’s regular cadence now but I don’t know of any businesses that would deploy optional preview updates on a regular basis. Maybe if the update contained a fix for a severe problem. But, even then only after testing on a limited number of machines.
