Someone recently complained that Apple was forcing updates on us.

Several of us pointed out that it's not forced if you have a choice.

Well, my NON-admin account was asked if I wanted to install the already 
downloaded update.

I had ALL checkboxes OFF associated with automation on updates.  The 
first install of Sierra apparently turned them all on, but at least it 
doesn't do restart installs without asking.

I turned them all off again, but did the install.  Part way through it 
puts the screen to sleep.  This is dumb, because if someone thinks the 
computer is off, they may push the power button.  No problem (yet) 
because nothing happens.  But then, if they think it is asleep, and find 
out they can't wake it up, the "solution" is to hold down the button 
until it turns off.  Which of course seriously breaks the update install.

Well, since I had initiated the update, I didn't do that.  But 
afterward, when I logged into my non-admin account again, I was 
presented with a list of "incompatible software not migrated" but there 
was NOTHING in the list!

I OK'd that, and what appeared to be a clean install set-up wizard 
appeared!  I forget how exactly I responded, but it turned out it didn't 
do anything.  (or at least it presented no further "Next" screens)
