Right. I'm also still running 10.11 at the moment. I've been using macOS
since the Mac SE, and other platforms before that. In all that time,
Apple's never forced me to install anything, and nothing's been
installed without my consent.
Automatic system updates is a relatively new (and completely optional)
feature introduced in macOS 10.10 Yosemite; and it's not really
surprising to me that it offers to upgrade to Sierra on systems where
the feature is enabled.
