The only frustration was that the warning message kept popping up despite me doing everything Apple’s website said to. I never had a problem with my computer after installing multiple times.

This post here attempts to clearly explain the problem and document that it’s not been fixed by Apple to let people know. As you pointed out, the Apple Discussion forum is a mix of repeated posts, and various threads. Mostly on this site I offer solutions to problems, but sometimes I will document problems that don’t yet have a solution because the vendor isn’t addressing the solution. Yes, I definitely understand your frustration. The maps below show recent visitors to this page. See for information about the security content of this update.
