I missed something. I apologize for that. I thought Defender should be uninstalled, not updated. Would you please help me to understand. Thank you.

User choice, some people prefer to have a Antivirus installed and kept up to date. So that's the reason why I update these defender cabs once a week cause I like to help others, and if it keeps other people protected from online threats like malware, ransomware, etc then I feel better knowing that.

Of course you don't have to have a antivirus software installed or one that comes built-in, as I said it's down to the user to decide that.
