Why did my iMac restart long after an auto update

Last PM an auto update to Big Sur occurred. Computer fine this morning. After I had been working a while (perhaps 15 minutes) the computer restarted while I was working. It gave the 1 minute warning but no option to delay. Why?

There might have been an Alert from Upper Right of desktop which flashed by too fast to have noticed. At least that is what happened to me. Though, I was watching it the whole time and did notice it and chose delay.
