What is the deal with HP or Microsoft pushing automatic BIOS updates?

It is common practice now to push critical updates via capsule. 20H1 introduced API to update even some subcomponents. The mechanism is part of UEFI spec and every manufacturer and OS vendor is taking a use of it.

If the notebook is bricked, file a support case. The only time I saw notebook getting bricked is when it was turned off mid process. There is no recovery procedure on consumer segment as far as I know

What is BIOS/UEFI?
BIOS/UEFI is the system that initializes your computer's hardware when you turn it on, before loading the operating system. The BIOS menu is where users can access and change low-level PC settings, check computer specs, and perform BIOS updates. It's typically embedded in a chip on your computer's motherboard . Modern systems use UEFI, which is more advanced than traditional BIOS, but the terms are often used interchangeably.
