When did it become OK to Release Windows Updates without Any Documentation?

Perhaps most folks just install updates blindly, without checking what they are first. That doesn't make that (some would say) irresponsible act okay for others, who'd like to check to seewhy an update has been released before installing it.

Today I'm greeted by the need to put in two updates.

One, KB3035034, is a security update for Adobe Flash Player, and I've gone ahead and put that one in as it does have documentation: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3035034

The second, labeled Optional, is a WD SES Device update, presumably because Western Digital has released a new version - though I don't know why; my backup drives have always worked perfectly on the old driver developed in the time of Windows 7.

I clicked the More information link to try to find out why a new driver has been released.  Zzzzt.   No information online:

Microsoft:  Please make sure the paperwork is done every time.  People do care about this stuff.
