I think the "you must have all the latest updates or you're a security risk" thing is a bit overblown, possibly by the companies themselves who want to make sure you install all their latest spyware.
I can promise you it isn’t. Security updates on a device that’s connected to the internet at all times is very important.
And how many of those updates are security updates?
And how many of those security updates are remote code execution exploits?
And Apple update even old iOS devices. I have a 14 year old iPad that still gets security updates on iOS 12.
