"I want to be left with security holes unpatched"
They remind you, and implore you, telling you that it can be a security risk, but they don't secretly update in the background or stuff like that. Fairphone has also always been very supportive towards installing non-stock android OS on their devices, (including pure Linux distros for phones running well enough).
They even have a list on their forum with OSs you can install. https://forum.fairphone.com/t/operating-systems-for-fairphones/11425
