What's with an update always requiring a restart at exactly 30% ?

I've wondered for (far too long) a time now, why is it always at 30% that a win10 update decides to shutdown and restart to complete the update. Anyone know the significance of picking that figure ?

I'd have thought "installing updates (0-100%), will restart to continue updating", and then "continuing to update" and count 0-100%, (or maybe some clearer messaging) would have been a programmers choice.

Picking (what appears) a random constant % to indicate when the restart will always occur seems...err..random, given that one PC will take a few moments to restart and another might take minutes, all part of the 0-100% process.
