Most people don't connect unpatched devices as easy pickings for fraud and abuse.

I was at the mechanic the other day, and this loud-mouthed boor bragged about never doing updates. The kind of guy whom would surf for porn on iOS 6 Mobile Safari and wonder why his contacts complain about X-rated spam.

For users like that, Apple has to just force people to update without their permission some number of years out because they won't do so willingly. Maybe enterprise-provisioned should have a greater exclusion, but not much more.

Because PEBKAC.
