This could be a problem if one of the rolled-up patches causes problems (like a BSOD) on your system.

or if there's a recently discovered security problem like a zero day exploit (Hey! what's a month or so when it's just your computer's or your own personal security at stake)...

According to today's post, as of October 2016 on, Windows will release a single Security-only update. This update will include only new security patches for each month, and individual patches will no longer be available.
