It uses the Play Store? I assumed it would use the same mechanic as the
base system. (Then again I haven`t been able to use Android in a while)

Good ol` plug and play. Windows has been doing it since the 90s

completely separate from the base OS (unless you have a google phone) so
slightly a given. Still get what you`re saying tho

So, like the updates are forced into one package instead of having
separated updates that are just installed at the same time?
