The estimates for me are reasonably close, although they don't seem to include the shutdown and reboot time. The estimate only seems to cover the amount of time required to actually perform the update. Admittedly my setup is pretty simple, as I don't have a lot of third-party stuff installed that runs all of the time.
Some of those things (anti-virus especially) seem to trigger off of Windows Updates and do their own "do I need to update?" activity, which bogs the machine down.

The point is to keep the user "entertained" (so they don't reboot) ... not accuracy.
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

Sure, the estimates are realistic. They are based on the percent of completion that is on your screen.
The percent of completion is based on the following:
1. The current moon phase
2. How close your dog is to you
3. The inverse of the day of the week number, i.e. they take longer on Mondays
4. As @raddevus saidQuote: It's inversely proportional to your necessity of having a working machine.
5. How full your coffee cup is; also an inverse relation
The formula has been very consistent for the past 25 years

I don't bother looking at the estimate any more (it's nice to be retired!!). I'll just start the update for the Windows VM and then switch back over to the Linux side of my system and continue browsing or whatever.

in 3 line 5/7/5 syllable form ...
can you make choices
you haven't seen looking in
a rear-view mirror ?
today's fresh catch of
still wriggling truth will keep
me from half starving
i half-way blindfold
my gods so they will half see
love's blind half clearly
wise men wag their heads
arguing over what makes
fairy tales' magic
when i'm a well-paid
cat, working at home, my mice
will write purrfect code

I don't think so. It wasn't intentional if there is.
