True. At my tech helpdesk, I've seen people who keep their Macs on very old versions even if their hardware supports much newer (and non-Tahoe) versions and suffer problems because of it.
For instance, the other day, a woman's Microsoft Office quit working because she was still on Ventura, which no longer gets security updates. This was on what I believe was a 2022 Macbook.
I think something is seriously wrong with Apple's update system. I mean, the Windows approach is objectively wrong, but automatic update systems need to be at least a bit aggressive.
